Report: Bears Interested in Marcus Mariota, Trading Jay Cutler - With the Chicago Bears unhappy with quarterback Jay Cutler's performance last season, CBS Sports is reporting that the team might be willing to trade their franchise QB to Tennessee for the Titans' second pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. The Bears would reportedly then attempt to land Marcus Mariota as their new quarterback. The Bears signed Cutler to a seven-year, $126 million extension in January 2014, but the quarterback threw 18 interceptions and Chicago finished a dismal 5-11. Cutler in Tennessee would make sense, considering he starred at Vanderbilt.(Photos from left: Joe Robbins/Getty Images, Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
