The great VCR master himself, Pat “Vacation Man” Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, says the Bucs will probably need to pay two first round draft picks and a player or two for Jay Cutler.

Now, it’s time for every team interested in Cutler to put all their cards on the table. We’ll find out if the Lions and Jets were bluffing in their reported interest in Cutler. We’ll also find out if Tampa Bay is willing to gamble everything it has.

To truly get into this game, the Bucs have to bid at least their first-round pick. To stay in the game, they’ll probably need to come up with more — like a first-round pick in 2010 and maybe a player or two.

And Vacation Man actually writes that the price for Cutler has dropped. Huh? Joe wonders from where? Isn’t two first rounders and a player high enough?

Joe completely disagrees with this assessment. It shouldn’t take two No. 1 picks to get Cutler.
