Not unless Pat Bowlen and Jay Cutler have a wonderful sense of humor. I don't get that vibe. Bad move for the Broncos. Franchise QBs don't just come around that often, they should know that better than most. First get rid of a successful coach and now (in a related move) dump the franchise QB. I know Cutler has been less than mature in this situation, but the team has not handled the thing all that well either. From the outside it looks like a good way to blow up a franchise.

Just saw it on ESPN. Must say I'm surprised. I was not expecting this to happen. While the team made a series of mistakes to be sure, they still hold all the bargaining chips, and so I figured they would play hardball long enough that Cutler would eventually relent and show up to work.

I'm not sure Denver realizes how difficult it is to replace a QB of his caliber. You don't have 3-4 years to coach up every 6th round draft pick into Matt Cassell. Denver lucked into getting the only first round guy in 06 who has panned out to date. Those are difficult odds to replicate.
