Jay Cutler Hired as Analyst by Fox Sports

Like Tony Romo, Jay Cutler is headed to the broadcast booth.

According to Fox Sports' Peter Schrager, the former Chicago Bears quarterback will join Fox as a color commentator in a three-man booth with Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis next season.

Burkhardt, Davis and Cutler will comprise Fox's No. 2 broadcast team behind Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

ESPN's Jeff Darlington noted that going to a three-man booth made the most sense for Cutler, since it would keep the door propped open for a return to the field if an "ideal team" has a sudden need for a stopgap signal-caller.
