Jay Cutler Willing To Delay Broadcast Career To Play For Dolphins HC Adam Gase

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reports retired QB Jay Cutler would be willing to delay his broadcast career at Fox in order to play for Dolphins HC Adam Gase.

However, Darlington adds that Cutler would only consider making this move if he gets the chance to be the full-time starting quarterback for the entire year.

Darlington’s sources added that Cutler views the Dolphins as the only practice quarterback job he would consider at this point. However, Miami has yet to consider bringing him in.

The Dolphins are still in the process of determining the severity of Ryan Tannehill‘s knee injury and whether he will undergo surgery on his knee.

Other options like Colin Kaepernick have come up as possibilities for Miami to consider, depending on Tannehill’s status.

Matt Moore will operate as the team’s starting quarterback for at least until they know how bad Tannehill’s knee injury is, but some still believe Moore could open the year as the team’s starter.

Cutler, 33, is a former first-round pick of the Broncos back in 2006. He spent three years in Denver before he was traded to the Bears in 2009. He was in the fourth year of his seven-year, $126.7 million contract that included $54 million guaranteed when the Bears cut him loose at the start of the 2017 league year.

In 2016, Cutler appeared in five games and throw for 1,059 yards while completing 59.1 percent of his passes to go along with four touchdowns and five interceptions.
