Report: QB Cutler headed back to retirement
Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler is expected to retire for the second consecutive offseason, according to an NFL Network report.
The report adds that Cutler could be involved in a reality show with his wife, actress and TV personality Kristin Cavallari, or go into broadcasting, as he planned to do in 2017.
Cutler agreed to join Fox as an NFL game analyst last May, a few months after being released by the Chicago Bears, calling his retirement "permanent" at the time. The network planned to have him form a three-man booth with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and analyst Charles Davis on Fox's No. 2 team.
But after Ryan Tannehill required season-ending knee surgery in August, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase -- who coached Cutler in Chicago -- coaxed the QB to join the Dolphins for 2018 on a one-year, $10 million deal.
Cutler went on to start 14 games for Miami, throwing for 2,666 yards (career-low 6.2 yards per attempt), 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while going 6-8 as a starter.
The 12-year veteran, who turns 35 on Sunday, has started 153 career games for the Denver Broncos, Bears and Dolphins, going 74-79 while throwing for 35,133 yards, 227 touchdowns and 160 interceptions. Taken 11th overall in 2006, Cutler went to one Pro Bowl (2008) and helped the Bears to the NFC Championship Game after the 2010 season.
