As we all know - and this is not an April Fool's joke - the Broncos are going to do everything they can to trade Jay Cutler. Considering Cutler is a franchise QB who's under 30, pretty much half the NFL should be gunning for him. This kind of interest definitely means the Broncos will get some very good players or draft picks (or both) in return for him.

According to the Denver Post, here's who has expressed immediate interest:

Washington: Makes sense, since Jason Campbell hasn't really developed into the QB that the Redskins had hoped for. You wonder what they'd have to give up for Cutler though. My guess would be Campbell and possible draft picks.

New York Jets: They have no one at QB, period. If they managed to get their hands on Cutler, talk about one hell of an offseason. They bring in Rex Ryan, Bart Scott and a guy who could be at QB for a decade. Not only that, but they could win the AFC East if Brady's knee has some issues this year. Only problem is other teams can beat them in offering higher draft picks for Cutler.

Tampa Bay: This could certainly work, especially since QB-hater Gruden is gone. Word is that ownership is intent on getting Cutler - after all, they did originally try and deal for him during the potential Cassel trade. Only problem is I'm not sure what they'd give in compensation for Cutler. Other teams can offer higher draft picks then Tampa. 

Chicago: Would be exactly what the Bears need, since they haven't had a viable option at QB since forever. But I don't see it happening.

Minnesota: Cutler would suddenly turn them into a Super Bowl contendor, what with AP in the backfield and Berrian streaking down the sideline. This team would be scary good. Only problem is that Yahoo! Sports has reported that Minnesota pretty much doesn't like Cutler at all.

Detroit: This really works incredibly well for both teams. Detroit gives Denver the #1 pick in the Draft, meaning Matt Stafford would be on his way to the Mile High City. Cutler, meanwhile, gets to freeze his whiny ass off in Detroit and turn the Lions into a 5-win team. If we're lucky, this is precisely what will happen.

Now let's get to some other teams that I think will make a play for Cutler.

49ers: They should get involved, without question. They have Sean Hill and Alex Smith for God's sake. Getting Cutler might win them the division. However, their major problem is they don't have a high draft pick, and they really don't have anyone of value they can give Denver, aside from Patrick Willis. And honestly, if the 49ers traded Willis, the whole Bay Area would riot.

Carolina Panthers: This one is super intriguing. Jake Delhomme sucks, so we know why they'd want Cutler. But what could they give Denver? Julius Peppers, my friend. Peppers wants to play in a 3-4 defense and that's exactly what the Broncos are changing too. I'd keep an eye on this possible deal, it works quite well.

Cleveland Browns: They can offer high draft picks and a young QB in either Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson. They also have a disgruntled Braylon Edwards. There are actually a number of deals the Browns could do that make a lot of sense. I wouldn't be surprised to see them throw their hat into the ring.
