Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall were never the best of friends, and the divide grew wider this offseason, after Marshall bashed his former quarterback at every turn.
On Thursday, Cutler finally responded to Marshall’s comments — with a witty, but strong message.
“No one really likes their ex-girlfriend just after a breakup.”
Cutler then went on to compliment and show respect to Marshall.
“He’s an incredible player, he did a lot for us here, it just didn’t work out,” Cutler said. “I could’ve been the guy that got shipped out of here as well.”
Marshall responded via social media, appearing to take the high road.

It was only a year ago that Marshall was predicting an MVP award for Cutler.
