Jay Cutler agrees to one-year, $10M deal with Dolphins.
Jay Cutler is heading to Miami. Roughly three months after seemingly retiring from the NFL to embark on a broadcasting career, Cutler has agreed to terms on a deal with a Miami Dolphins team in need of a quarterback after Ryan Tannehill's knee injury, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Cutler's deal with the Dolphins is for one year at $10 million and it includes incentives, Rapoport reported. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero adds the incentives push the contract to a max value of $13 million.
Miami still hasn't put a timeline on when Tannehill might return from his knee injury or if he will undergo surgery.
The Dolphins' decision to sign Cutler reunites the former Bears quarterback with Gase, who was instrumental in helping the quarterback post his most efficient season in 2015 when he was Chicago's offensive coordinator.
In May, Cutler announced he was making a "permanent" move to broadcasting after he failed to find a new home after nearly two months on the free-agent market. The former Chicago Bears quarterback was slated to make his debut for Fox Sports alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis for the Titans-Bears preseason contest on Aug. 27.
Around The NFL will have more on Cutler joining the Dolphins soon.
