The divide between the Denver Broncos and starting quarterback Jay Cutler is widening following a “contentious” conference call Monday that was supposed to mend fences in this high-profile dispute, according to Bill Williamson of ESPN.com. Cutler, who’s angry about being involved in trade discussions, and the team now have even bigger problems. According to the article, the phone call only made matters worse. Per Williamson, the Broncos acted “as if [Cutler] was the one who started the trade talks and informed him that they have no plans of trading him, but that they can trade him at any time.” Williamson described the problem between the two sides as a “major trust issue” in an “already tense situation.” Next Monday will be an important day in this saga because that’s when the Broncos launch their offseason conditioning program. According to a source close to Cutler, he hasn’t decided if he’ll be there or not. A no-show could prompt more consideration of relaunching trade discussions.
