Is Jay Cutler’s time just about over in Chicago? The Bears would only lose $2 million in dead cap space if they released him after the 2016 season. Cutler has already missed 16 games, a full season, during his time in Chicago, and he’s expected to miss more time in 2016.

Since the Bears are probably going to be one of the worst teams in the league this year due to all of their injuries, they could start the rebuilding process by drafting their next potential franchise quarterback.

It’s a tough choice between the top two players at the position, and although the Fighting Irish are having a disappointing season, I think that Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer could be a better fit for the Bears’ offensive system.

At 6’4” and 230 pounds, Kizer has the build of an NFL quarterback. Kizer also has the arm talent and touch to make some great throws. He would have his work cut out for himself in Chicago, but having weapons like Alshon Jeffery and Kevin White could help him make plays as a rookie.
