Brad Childress said the Vikings were not among the clubs involved in trade discussions with Denver for quarterback Jay Cutler, who was dealt to NFC North rival Chicago on Thursday. "He's a good player, and obviously I don't question his physical skills," the Vikings coach said Friday. "But obviously it will be what he can do in relationship to the team to help the team. ... Are they going to be able to match their offense up to what he can do offensively? I think there's kind of a ferreting-out period."
