The Miami Dolphins have made veteran quarterback Jay Cutler their top target as they prepare for the possibility of Ryan Tannehill's knee surgery, according to Jeff Darlington of ESPN.
Per Darlington, head coach Adam Gase and Cutler have spoken and Cutler "hasn’t given the team an outright no." Darlington also added more context to the situation:
Jeff DarlingtonYes, Dolphins/Cutler have talked $. I sense good $ could cause Cutler to justify return, but I don’t think reluctance is mere leverage play.
Jeff DarlingtonSo for now, I’d still characterize Cutler return as “unlikely,” but as I said yesterday, Gase can be a convincing dude when he wants to be.
