Jay Cutler wants to continue playing

Jay Cutler's agent, Bus Cook, said that, contrary to speculation, his client does not intend to retire at this time.

Let's break down that short quote into chunks, starting with Part I: "He never has mentioned retirement to me". I just felt like, honestly, if Jay involved himself more with the team, more with his receivers, I think he'd get more better results on the playing field.

Released by the Bears in early March, Cutler hasn't found a new team, nor has he even been linked to a possibility. The former No. 11 overall pick missed 11 games due to thumb and shoulder injuries. The Bears moved on from him and signed Bucs backup Mike Glennon for three years. Most of those highlights were with the Chicago Bears where he held nearly every passing record for the team. What also hurt the market for Cutler has been his strong reputation in regards to lacking poor leadership skills that have often come into serious question over the last several years with Chicago struggling to find any consistency with him under center.

He led the Bears to only one playoff appearance in his eight seasons. He threw a career-worst 26 interceptions in 2009, his first season in Chicago.

Cutler's health matters to teams.

It's not that they don't exist, but a lot of teams may be wary of giving Cutler a hefty salary when they could draft a rookie QB for far less.

"Jay wants to play football", Cook told the reporter.
