After the news of Ryan Tannehill’s injury, the Dolphins have reportedly sign former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Joe Tidei, a associate producer for Comcast Sports Net Chicago, reported on Twitter Friday that the Dolphins and Cutler have agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract. It appears that he will get the starting job should Tannehill miss the season due to his knee injury.
Cutler spent eight seasons in the Windy City, going 51-51 with 154 touchdowns for the Bears. That being said, his best season in Chicago was the season in which his offensive coordinator was now Dolphins head coach Adam Gase. In Gase’s only season in Chicago, Cutler had his best TD/INT ratio of his career. His numbers weren’t ever stellar in Chicago, though he holds virtually all of the team’s passing records.
