"Bears fan Tony Tudisco from Aurora put himself on the hot seat Sunday when he inquired how Jay Cutler would thrive "without any receivers to throw to."

Bears general manager Jerry Angelo fired back.

"Sounds like you're from Wisconsin," Angelo said sarcastically.

The receiver question was sure to surface as spirited diehards gathered for the annual Bears Expo. But before the festivities began, Angelo discussed a possibility he previously had dismissed: Plaxico Burress.

"As I said, we'll look at every option," Angelo said. "[His] situation is different because there are circumstances. We'll monitor it."

Cutler has reached out to Burress, and agent Drew Rosenhaus recently said at least two teams are seriously interested in signing the former New York Giant. The Jets are likely one of them.

"Are we one of those two teams? No," Angelo said.

Burress, released by the Giants on April 3, has a June 15 hearing stemming from felony gun charges. He accidentally shot himself in the thigh in November at a Manhattan nightclub. He could face jail time and if not, at least a league suspension.

"He could help any team,'' Angelo said. "His play, his production speaks for itself. Everybody would love to have him on their team, including the New York Giants.

"But obviously, they are things that have to happen now for him to play in the league, get on with his life. There are a lot of hurdles to cross before you can really seriously sit here and use that as a viable option.""
