The former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is currently looking for an NFL TV job and according to him to Mike McCarthy of Front Office Sports, his reps are already talking to Fox to get him in the broadcast booth.
According to Awesemo:
Jay could also be landing a potential studio analyst gig during the games on Sunday. Whatever the case, the NFL world found this news rather exciting.
Here is Jay Cutler’s NFL record:
Jay Cutler played for 11 seasons in the NFL, mostly with the Denver Broncos and the Chicago Bears. He led the Bears to the NFC Championship Game in 2011 but lost to the Green Bay Packers.
He’s also known for his awful on field demeanor. Hopefully he changes his attitude in the booth.
This isn’t the first time that Cutler has been considered for a television job. He turned one down so he could play for the Dolphins for a year and make $10 million back in 2017.
Jay Cutler’s decision to retire from the NFL at age 33 and pursue a job in TV was always a surprise. He was young enough to continue his NFL career, and he wasn’t exactly the sort of personality you’d expect to pursue a TV career. It turns out that he wasn’t diving into the TV prep either.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Cutler straight-up admitted that he didn’t really practice for his TV gig with Fox Sports. Fortunately for both parties, Cutler signed a contract with the Dolphins after Ryan Tannehill’s knee injury. Via SI: Me to Jay Cutler: “Did you practice doing TV much this offseason before coming back?”
Cutler: “I mean, I’d be lying if I said I did.” Sure, every TV analyst has his or her own strategy for approaching game broadcasts, but in general, there is a tremendous amount of preparation that goes into a high-level football telecast. I’ve seen announcers break out color-coded poster boards with information about each player ahead of games.
