Jay Cutler would “pass” on the Packers

Jay Cutler admitted he would not play for the Green Bay Packers, even in their most dire situation

Amongst the talk of Jay Cutler and his retirement comes the talk of a Jay Cutler return in the same breath. While Cutler has said that his retirement is “permanent” he has also said he expects to get that itch to play football come late summer. There is speculation that Cutler will have a clause in his contract with FOX that gives him an out to return to football if the right job and team came calling. However, do not fret Bears fans, that right team will not be the Green Bay Packers.

Cutler has made his media rounds and recently did an interview with Doug Gottlieb for “The Herd” radio show. Gottlieb posed a hypothetical to Cutler that had Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley going down to injury. The Packers call Cutler in this hypothetical and look for his response about playing for the green and yellow. Cutler answered that he “would have to pass on that.” Check out the video below.

Cutler has had a love-hate relationship with many Bears fans over the years. However, as he plans to step away it appears the feeling of love from the fans has shown, and Cutler has given it right back. Cutler was not drafted by the Bears but he did spend eight of his 11 seasons in Chicago. He was born in Indiana and had admitted to being a Bears fan as a child. It would be weird to see Cutler in any other uniform at this point, but a Packers jersey would be the weirdest. Fortunately, it does not look like we have to see that scenario as Cutler will stick by his favorite team, and the team he has spent the majority of his career with.
