You might want to sit down before you read this. Bears QB Jay Cutler spoke highly of WR Brandon Marshall in a recent interview with the Newport News (Va.) Daily News:

“I talked to ‘B’ a few days ago,” Cutler said during an appearance Monday at William and Mary’s Colonial All-Pro Football Camp. “Just checking in on him and seeing how he’s doing, because I went through a similar thing that he’s going through.

“I played with Brandon for three years and I think he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL. I think he can be one of the greatest ever to play.

“He’s big and fast, and can do everything you want him to do, on the field and in the meeting room. I don’t know what we’re going to do. That’s up to the guys upstairs. If we make a run at him, we make a run at him.”
