Wednesday afternoon during a media session Cutler let everyone know he will not be a backup in the NFL. Cutler said he is unlikely to continue his career if he is a backup. Cutler also said, “he wouldn’t want to move again or go somewhere just to back up.” Cutler who came out of retirement and delayed his broadcasting career to help his former coach and friend Adam Gase and start for the Dolphins. In a move many believed would be great but it has just been an awful season for Cutler.
Cutler has been average to below average all season all but two games against the Patriots and Raiders. Cutler has thrown for 19 touchdowns but also has 14 interceptions. It is very likely the Dolphins hand the keys to the offense back to Ryan Tannehill next season assuming he is good to go and look for Cutler to either get a starting gig elsewhere or for Cutler to pursue his broadcasting career yet again.
When asked if it was a right decision Cutler had this to say via the Palm Beach Post.
“I think so,” Cutler said. “It was a great experience. It’s a really good locker room. Really good coaches. Great organization. Great owner. I had a really good time.” Cutler who has lived out of a hotel for the entire season also said “It was cool at first,” Cutler said. “Maid service every day. That’s kind of nice. The movie. We get on-demand movies. But they don’t change as often as you would like. It’s kind of a monthly thing. You have to wait a little while. It was fine. I wasn’t there that much. I did get the points. That will pay off somewhere down the line.”
