Contract Issue Looming In 2013: The Bears face two big issues in 2013. Since the NFL is a quarterback-driven league, we'll go with Jay Cutler first. Cutler is signed through next offseason, but the Bears could look to be proactive and lock him up long-term. Cutler isn't the most cuddly of players, and he's unlikely to sing a duet with Jeff Tweedy on the next Wilco record, but he's the best quarterback the Bears have had in a long time and is just entering the prime of his career. With the re-signing of Forte, coupled with the arrival of Brandon Marshall and position coach Jeremy Bates and the departure of Mike Martz, Cutler is poised for a big season that should place him behind only Sid Luckman on the Bears' all-time passing yards and touchdowns list.
