Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall spent three seasons as teammates with the Broncos and three more as teammates with the Bears, and at times they were close. But this year the Bears traded Marshall to the Jets, amid talk that he and Cutler weren’t seeing eye to eye.
In an indication that Cutler and Marshall’s relationship remains strained, Marshall omitted Cutler when asked by a fan on Twitter to name the best teammate he ever played with. Marshall named several teammates from the Broncos, Dolphins and Bears: Mike Pouncey, Brandon Stokley, Ryan Clady, Alshon Jeffery, Elvis Dumervil, Brian Urlacher, Israel Idonije, Matt Forte, Rod Smith, Chris Simms and Chad Pennington. Cutler didn’t make the cut.

When asked by a fan how his relationship with Cutler is now compared to before he was traded, Marshall answered, “Same.” But it doesn’t appear that their relationship is the same as it was when Marshall arrived in Chicago.
