News of Jay Cutler’s arrest has rocked the football world today, with the former Chicago Bears quarterback being jailed in Tennessee after being stopped by police on Thursday.
Cutler, who was known as “Smokin’ Jay Cutler” as a player, thanks to a meme showing him smoking a cigarette on the sidelines, was pulled over after deciding to drive while under the influence while in Franklin, Tennessee. He was also found with a handgun.
Reports noted that the former Bears QB, who also played for the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins, was charged with a quadruple of offenses, including DUI, failure to exercise due care, violation of implied consent law, and possession of a handgun while under the influence.
A representative for the Franklin Police Department spoke to TMZ Sports and informed the outlet that Cutler was booked into the Williamson County Jail before posting a $5,000 bond.
The former QB hadn’t made a public statement at the time of writing.

Jay Cutler Was A Stud QB In His Day
Cutler, who spent eight of his 12 seasons with the Bears, played in 153 regular season NFL games and was a Pro Bowler in 2008.
He completed 62 percent of his passes for a total of 35,133 yards, 227 touchdowns, and 160 interceptions. He remains Chicago’s leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns, attempts, and completions.
Cutler began his career with the Denver Broncos in 2006 but was traded while on the verge of his prime years. He retired in 2017.
The 41-year-old has remained relevant since his retirement because of his past marriage, having tied the knot with reality TV star Kristin Cavallari in 2013. They split up in 2020 and finalized their divorce in 2022.

NBA fans are praying for basketball icon Michael Jordan following the emergence of a certain photo.
Jordan, who is widely considered to be the greatest NBA player of all time, was in France this week watching Monaco play Barcelona. The teams squared off for a UEFA Champions League showdown at the Louis II Stadium on Thursday, with the home side snatching a shocking 2-1 victory.
Photos of MJ in the stands quickly surfaced online, with his eyes a worrying shade of yellow.
Check it out below:
The outing hardly marked the first time Jordan’s eyes got fans talking, but it appears whatever the condition is has gotten worse. Most fans are of the view that he’s jaundiced due to excessive drinking and could be dealing with liver problems.
