also i wasnt sayin the contract shows what little he means to THEM. but from a viewpoint of someone who isnt writin the checks, my point is they are over estimatin how much he means to them. they have the first or 2nd duo of receivers and one of the best rbs in the league and aside from this yr, usualy a stellar defense. and cutler still makes the same mistakes year after year after year. they would been smarter goin out to trade for a kirk cousins or somethin and savin 100 MILLION imo. i dont think he is crucial to their success
