Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has accepted offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer's apology for critical comments he made to a reporter. 

"You could really feel he was sorry, the situation got the better of him," Cutler said, according to USA Today. "He was sincere."

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported Sunday, citing sources within the Bears organization, that the team has a "serious case of buyer's remorse" with regard to Cutler's contract extension.

Kromer identified himself as Rapoport's source during a meeting on Monday, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday, and apologized to the team for the comments he made. Kromer denied saying the team had "buyer's remorse" but did admit to saying he was frustrated with how Cutler has played this season.
