Former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has had an eventful past few months. It was announced that he would retire in all but deed to join the Fox Sports broadcast team. In fact he was slated to call the games between Chicago and Tennessee in preseason and Chicago and Atlanta in the regular season opener. Then things took a swerve.
Ryan Tannehill re-injured the knee he initially hurt last year. He never had surgery to repair it, hoping rehab would be enough. The Miami Dolphins were forced to make a decision. Ride it out with Matt Moore or gamble on bringing in Cutler. With Adam Gase as their head coach, a man who had some success with Cutler in 2015 with Jay under center, the decision was fairly easy.
Cutler signed a one-year deal to join the Dolphins as their new starter.
Dolphins Jay Cutler move isn't impressing other teams
Turns out though that this move hasn't exactly changed the status quo for some teams. Miami did not play a game in week one due to Hurricane Irma smacking the state of Florida. They will open their season this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Los Angeles Daily News wanted to get the impressions of certain players on the idea of playing against Cutler. The response was.....blunt.Retire for three months, and some people lose all respect for you. That’s essentially the treatment Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler got from Melvin Ingram, whom he will face this Sunday at StubHub Center. Asked on Thursday afternoon what problems Cutler might present this weekend, the Chargers defensive end didn’t miss a beat. “None,” Ingram said.Well there isn't much room for speculation there. At the same time it's difficult to understand Ingram's arrogance. Cutler did beat him and the Chargers two years ago with Gase with Chicago. Also Los Angeles just got done losing to Trevor Siemian and the Broncos. So maybe now isn't the best time to be feeling so high and mighty.
