There have been reports that the Texans decided to go with quarterback Tom Savage as their starter rather than signing free agent Jay Cutler after the Chicago Bears released him earlier this offseason.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported last week that the Texans went as far as to ignore Cutler’s calls.
News broke on Friday morning that Cutler has signed with FOX Sports to serve as an NFL analyst.
But ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Texans did speak with Cutler. Which coincides with the fact that Houston general manager Rick Smith says they didn’t ignore him.
