According to Jeff Dickerson of ESPN, the Texans actually expressed “mild interest” in free agent QB Jay Cutler this offseason. However, Texans HC Bill O’Brien reportedly prefers to move forward with Tom Savage, as opposed to bringing in Cutler.
Dickerson mentions that the Jets were “seriously interested” but they’re obviously no longer an option for him now that they’ve signed veteran QB Josh McCown.
There has been some recent talk that retirement is a serious consideration for Cutler and considering the amount of money he’s made the fact that he’s dealt with injuries in recent years, Dickerson mentions that it’s easy to understand why he might be leaning towards retirement.
