Jay doesn't seem to be interested in playing, at least not at the moment. I doubt he care what a bunch of sports writers think his market is.
Wow. This is the most thought out and accurate response in this thread. Jay is a different kind if guy. Has a famous wife who travels a lot and has multiple kids. He has a right like anyone else to decide what he wants to do in life. Maybe he just wants to raise his kids.not sure why people really want to bag on this guy for whats going on right now....so he's chillin naked at a resort with one of the hottest wives around....dude may not be a great teammate and people don't like how he carries himself, but he is just trying to figure out if he still wants to play or not.....nothing wrong with that....we should all be so lucky...he has banked enough money to have a happy life filled with raising kids, playing golf, and hanging out naked with a hot wife at nice resorts....we all want him to have that burning desire, but maybe football is more of just a job or hobby for him....who cares, he is still probably more qualified than most for one of only 32 jobs on the planet....there are several teams who should be interested in his services, as long as you know what you are getting going in.....Jay may figure it out and decide he wants to give it another go, or he may not....he doesn't seem to really care what other people think....he'd be a week 1 starter for many teams right now.....

Not that it's necessarily wrong, but it's funny that we've gone from "he's hanging out naked at a resort" to "he's taking care of his kids".Wow.

Looks like he is doing whatever he wants (including raising kids and making more kids with his hot wife) and there is no indication that he is returning to football.Not that it's necessarily wrong, but it's funny that we've gone from "he's hanging out naked at a resort" to "he's taking care of his kids".
And, even if he plays this year it isn't going to matter to most of us. It's not like he is going to be a starter in FF.Why does anyone care anymore? I'm starting to think fans are stressing out more about his career than he is. Let the man go and do his thing. If I were him I'd retire happy right now.
The naked picture at the resort is pretty freaking weird. I know a friend of Jay's and even he thinks it's strange.Not that it's necessarily wrong, but it's funny that we've gone from "he's hanging out naked at a resort" to "he's taking care of his kids".
LolI will remember him as an absolute warrior on the gridiron whose teammates rallied around like no other leader before him.
Oh come on!He can start by vaccinating his damn kids, instead of being a fool, like his wife (among other idiot anti-vaxxer celebrities, eg. Jenny McCarthy). Their opinion, is harmful to their kids and others (even if other kids/adults have been vaccinated in the past due to mutations). They continue to push their false, incorrect, and misinformed narrative that vaccinations can lead to autism. That has been debunked in numerous studies, multiple times. It's people like this guy, who are going to be responsible for bringing back previous eradicated diseases.
Have a great retirement Jay. Vaccinate your damn kids and please get a vasectomy pronto. Thanks!
I agree with the vaccinating part but seems a bit off the wall for this forum. As far as I know it all has to do with his wife and not him. Like most husbands, we just do what our wife's want.He can start by vaccinating his damn kids, instead of being a fool, like his wife (among other idiot anti-vaxxer celebrities, eg. Jenny McCarthy).

Your starting to?Why does anyone care anymore? I'm starting to think fans are stressing out more about his career than he is.
God that's pathetic. Something like taking out the trash or what color to paint a wall, but with serious issues like that, if you're doing what your wife wants you might as well cut your balls off.I agree with the vaccinating part but seems a bit off the wall for this forum.

ESPN Bears reporter Jeff Dickerson expects free agent Jay Cutler to retire.
Dickerson lays out a pretty reasonable case. Battered throughout his career, Cutler has banked over $100 million in earnings, and isn't drawing interest from contending teams. The fact that Cutler has yet to officially call it quits suggests he's waiting for someone better than the Jets to call, but it's unlikely to happen. The No. 11 overall pick of the 2006 draft turns 34 later this month.

Free agent Jay Cutler's player rep says he's not considering retirement.
"Jay wants to play football," were the words of Bus Cook. "He never has mentioned retirement to me. Jay Cutler, as far as I know, is ready to play and wants to play, and his skill set is as good as any quarterback in the league." Cook, who represented Brett Favre, certainly knows retiring quarterbacks. It's a good time for Cutler to get the message out, as he will be an option for teams that miss out/select a project in this week's draft. The Texans would be Cutler's best-case scenario, but there's been no indication they're considering the longtime Bear.

Jay is evidence that you can't tell anything from the college the guy plays for. Meaning - I had assumed that by his attending Vanderbilt, one of the best schools in the country, that he would be smarter than the average player. I've rarely been so wrong.I was so pumped when the Bears traded for this guy, I even went to the home opener vs the Steelers. That was my one and only live NFL game in Chicago and it was a blast of a weekend. With that said, he was one of the most frustrating and polarising player I have ever seen, the fan base has been bruised badly from the JC era. Gifted in terms of physical ability, but the guy couldn't lead a 2 car parade down a dirt road!
Wait, are you trying to say he's not smart because of his decision making abilities on the field? Most of the turnovers I've seen him make were due to being overconfident in his abilities and forcing passes or holding on to the ball to long. I don't thing he's a dumb person at all.Jay is evidence that you can't tell anything from the college the guy plays for.

No, I'm more referring to his stupidity off the field. Or maybe it's just his attitude but throughout his career he seems like a dumb ###.Wait, are you trying to say he's not smart because of his decision making abilities on the field?

If we're going by what I think you're logic is then Fitzpatrick isn't all that smart either even though he went to Harvard.
I guess I've never seen or heard of anything Jay has done to seem like he's dumb. The only thing I can think of is the whole non-vaccinating thing. That's pretty dumb.No, I'm more referring to his stupidity off the field. Or maybe it's just his attitude but throughout his career he seems like a dumb ###.
Fitz otoh is one of the most intelligent people in sports. Just can't get it done on the field.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports free agent QB Jay Cutler is "exploring a post-football career in broadcasting."
Cutler's rep said the quarterback is not considering retirement, but his actions suggest otherwise. Garafolo reports Cutler and his reps "have spoken with network executives about football-related TV roles" with the quarterback even auditioning for "at least one network in recent weeks." ESPN's Jeff Dickerson reports that network was FOX. Seemingly unwilling to accept a backup job, Cutler could follow Tony Romo into the broadcast booth this fall.

Free agent QB Jay Cutler announced his retirement from the NFL after 11 seasons.
Cutler will follow Tony Romo into broadcasting, with Cutler joining FOX Sports. He'll be in the booth on Sundays with Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis. Burkhardt is FOX's No. 2 play-by-play man behind Joe Buck. As for Cutler, word is he wanted to continue his playing career, but simply didn't draw any interest. Drafted by the Broncos in a trade-up in 2006, he spent three years in Denver before demanding a trade when Josh McDaniels was hired. He was sent to the Bears for Kyle Orton and a couple first-rounders. Cutler played eight seasons in Chicago. He went 68-71 in his career, throwing for 32,467 yards and a 208:146 TD:INT ratio. Cutler made one Pro Bowl and went to the playoffs just once. We bet he'd come back to play if a team called his phone.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, free agent Jay Cutler had previously talked with the Jets and Texans before ultimately retiring on Friday.
As Schefter puts it, the discussions with the Jets were "real," but the talks with Houston were "less promising." There was a report last weekend that the Texans weren't even picking up Cutler's phone calls prior to the draft, and once they drafted Deshaun Watson that sealed Cutler's fate. In a statement Friday, Cutler said he's in between being forced out of the league and not having the desire to keep playing. If a team calls him this season with the opportunity to start, Cutler would probably jump at the situation as long as he's still in playing shape.

He could've easily gotten on somewhere. He's just finished. Doesn't need the money.Long Ball Larry said:I find it somewhat surprising that he did not latch on anywhere as a QB and also surprising that a TV network would be that interested in him.
I'll just take the money.We all wish we had $100m and Kristin Cavallari.
