Cutler last played for the Chicago Bears in 2016, completing 81 of 137 pass attempts (59.1 percent) for 1,059 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions in five games. Cutler's season was shortened by injury, and his departure from Chicago expedited by apathy on the part of the organization (and the rest of the league). After eight seasons, the Bears no longer wanted Cutler, and after drawing little interest elsewhere he opted for the booth, signing a deal with FOX.
