  • After being released by the Bears and subsequently not being signed by another team, QB Jay Cutler has chosen to go into a career in broadcasting. While he is still technically a free agent, the career move essentially indicates his retirement from the NFL.
  • Not including seasons where he played less than 400 snaps (2006 and 2016), Cutler’s average grade per season was 78.1. Twice he finished in the top-ten for quarterback grades on the season, once each with the Broncos (2008) and Bears (2013).
  • There are ten quarterbacks who have taken more snaps than Cutler since 2006.
