The Miami Dolphins held an introductory news conference for quarterback Jay Cutler Monday afternoon.
Cutler agreed to come out of retirement, and the broadcast booth, to replace Ryan Tannehill, who re-injured his left knee last week. Barring injury, Cutler will become the 17th quarterback to start for the Dolphins since Sept. 30, 2001.
Why is Sept. 30, 2001 significant? That was the date when Tom Brady started his first game for the New England Patriots. Since then, four quarterbacks -- Brady, Matt Cassel, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett -- have started for the Pats.
