(CHICAGO) Former Bear Quarterback Jay Cutler’s retirement from football did not last long. Cutler announced earlier this year he was going to become an analyst with FOX sports, but now the former Bear has reportedly decided to sign a one year deal with the Miami Dolphins.
A person familiar with the situation tells the Associated Press that Cutler agreed to terms Sunday on a contract with Miami, to replace injured quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Cutler is expected to compete with Matt Moore for a starting job while Tannehill remains out with a left knee injury that could sideline him for the entire season.
Dolphins coach Adam Gase was offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears when Cutler had a career-best quarterback rating with them in 2015. Gase joined Miami in 2016, and Cutler parted with Chicago in March after eight seasons.
