The quarterback free agent market has lost one of its options, for the time being. Jay Cutler announced on Friday that he is leaving the NFL to join FOX Sports as a broadcaster. He will be paired with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and color commentator Charles Davis to form a three-man booth for the 2017 season.
Adam Schefter reported on Friday that Cutler had some significant discussions with the New York Jets, and “less-promising ones” with the Houston Texans. Everybody seems to think moving to the three-man booth is meant to leave him an out in case an NFL opportunity presents itself.
