Cutler being shopped
I’m told by league sources Bears have now begun actively shopping Cutler, which isn’t surprising, but it does require some context:

Cutler was informed of this when they began in mid-January https://t.co/5CSaZnWTkC
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 21, 2017
Cutler is 33. He has no guaranteed money left. If non-competitive team tries to give up late pick, he can sit out or retire. Teams know it.

Wow. If you can watch these and claim with a straight face that Porter should've been arrested & charged as he was, dunno what to tell you. https://t.co/DvjaCANiTr

Harrison’s return
Talked with agent Bill Parise, who reps James Harrison. Said #Steelers want him back, Harrison wants to return. Sounds like a matter of time
