Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has accepted a role as a color commentator for Fox Sports, but he is not saying he's completely done on the field.
"I don't know if retirement is the right word; I don't feel that anyone ever really retires from the NFL," Cutler told ESPN's Jeff Darlington in a prepared statement on Friday. "You are either forced to leave, or you lose the desire to do what's required to keep going. I'm in between those situations at this point in my life."
It is unknown if Cutler has a clause in his TV deal that would allow him to leave for a quarterback job, though Fox does have a history of putting such clauses in contracts.
