Six comparable trades in NFL history to gauge the price of an impact, Pro Bowl-caliber playerThe Bears can put together a package of draft picks and linebacker Brian Urlacher, who, while not the same player he once was, would give a bad defense credibility and a Broncos fan base a big draw. They could build a package around Devin Hester, who shouldn't be untouchable when the stakes are a franchise quarterback. They can offer up-and-coming young defensive talent such as defensive tackle Marcus Harrison or cornerback Corey Graham, who might appeal to a new coach building for the long haul. They can throw in veterans such as cornerback Nathan Vasher or defensive end Israel Idonije who might interest a team looking for experienced depth. Ben's Take: NFL stars are almost never traded for eachother. When Cutler is moved expect a package of draft picks and a couple guys you've never heard of to be in the deal. Urlacher is better at selling jersey's than playing football -- Chicago Tribune
