[Bears] Jay Cutler Wants To Prove Himself Before Signing Endorsements

There's a perfectly good reason Jay Cutler hasn't been seen or heard doing commercial spots for car manufacturers, hotel chains or anything else. He's not interested, at least not right now. "With all the excitement that's happened so far, there have been a lot of endorsement opportunities," the Bears quarterback said. "But I've kind of steered clear of those because I haven't even stepped on the field yet. I'm trying to take care of that before I step into that (other) realm." He already is one of the most popular and recognizable athletes in a city with plenty of big-name players. But capitalizing on that popularity commercially isn't an immediate priority for Cutler. "I want to go out and play some games and prove myself first," Cutler said. "I want to get rid of some of the skepticism surrounding me and just go out there and play."

I can definitely respect that. With that attitude, I think he's great fit for the team and the city.

He's just waiting to start the season 2-0 and then he can double his asking price. If you think he's being an admirable stand-up guy you're a rube.
