Bears' Long posts farewell note to Cutler on Instagram

Before it was reported the Chicago Bears would be releasing quarterback Jay Cutler on Thursday, guard Kyle Long posted a heartfelt farewell message to his teammate on Instagram.

#CUTTY Name another guy making 100 million who calls their rookie right guard every morning at 6AM to make sure that he's on time for work. Name another Quarterback that shows up at your house on an off day just to make sure you're behaving. Name a quarterback that will grab you by the collar and pull you out of a brawl in your first game in the NFL. Name a friend honest enough to tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. I have that friend in Jay and I will never forget the things he did for me. I learned a lot from you dude. You have a pretty kick ass family too!! @kristincavallari
