re: Bears just had their 3rd QB get killed and are down to Matt Barkley

Isn't Shaw out the whole year? I assumed he was.

That's the thing. I'm not sure if his leg is fully healed or if he's out of the cast yet even. I think he would be out of the cast and rehabing the leg now though.

I hate to say it but I think Chicago drafts a QB. (Watson, Kizer and Jackson are the big 3 names thrown around in early Mocks)

I agree with that, they'll probably go QB the 1st Rd and the way their season is going, they'll have a high pick.

Not sure why Pitt would take Cutler, he's under contract until 2020 and that'a a lot of money to take on just as a rent a QB while Big Ben heals.

It's not as much $ as you might think. Cutler's current contract only has $2M in dead money next year. CHI could trade/cut him and only owe him $2M. They could even pay his buyout while he renegotiates a contract with PITT. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/jay-cutler-2493/
