Bears are releasing QB Jay Cutler, per sources. Cutler asked for and was granted his release this morning. Now a free agent.

This should come as no surprise since the Bears signed Mike Glennon to an insanely gigantic deal for someone who is 5-13 as a starter.
When Mike Glennon’s deal is finalized with #Bears, it’s expected to be 3 years for an average of $14.5M, source says. Will still draft a QB

Before Cutler's Bears uniform had a chance to get cold, a report has already emerged on a suitor.
For now, the list of teams with a potential interest in Jay Cutler starts with...the New York Jets.

Now, that's going to be enough for Jets fans to retch. The team has already lived through the turnover-prone Geno Smith years, and bringing in Cutler - who only has three winning seasons in his nine as a full-fledged started, and is 68-71 in his career - won't bring comfort to a long-suffering fan base.
REPORT: The Bears have signed Jay Cutler's replacement
That report builds off one last month, in which CBS Sports reported the Jets have "some interest" in the 33-year-old QB.
Of course, the Jets could have competition:
Sources: If Texans miss out on Tony Romo they'll turn their attention to Jay Cutler. Jets are also in the mix for Cutler.
