Report: Dolphins have reached out to Jay Cutler

As the Dolphins continue to await word on the severity of Ryan Tannehillโ€˜s knee injury, the momentum for Jay Cutler is building in Miami.

The Dolphins have reached out to Cutler, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase, who coached Cutler when he was the Bearsโ€™ offensive coordinator in 2015, has personally been in touch with Cutler, the report says. Cutler had a good season in Gaseโ€™s offense and the two get along well personally.

The Bears cut Cutler in March, so heโ€™s a free agent and there are no restrictions on the Dolphins contacting him or signing him. He has already signed with CBS to work as an announcer this year, but that wouldnโ€™t preclude him from changing his mind and returning to the field if the right opportunity arises.

Gase said today that Matt Moore is now the Dolphinsโ€™ quarterback, but Gase made clear thatโ€™s only the case โ€œright now.โ€ If Tannehill is out for the season, the Dolphins may go shopping for a new quarterback, and Cutler could be the man.

Whew, Boris
When I saw the thread title, I was scared it was for one of our own.
Let's pray we don't have to add any more of our guys to this, or require one specifically for the Pack.

If nothing else, at least the Dolphins provide entertainment. I'd like to see them do well since they are in the same division as the Cheatriots, but I fear it won't matter who they have at QB. I doubt they could win enough games to avoid having to go to NE at some point.
The very best thing if they sign Cutler will be the outcry from the pro-Kaperdick camp. They are worse than the Kennedy conspiracy theorists!

Anything less than a 1st round pick is unacceptable. 

It's quite possible he's worth more to us than any other team. 

Matt Flynn, redux? 

Hundley has definite value, but I can't see any team giving up a 1st round pick unless it could be in a conditional pick format. Something like a 3rd round pick that could elevate to a second and possibly a 1st if he has a lights-out season.

I bet he's as good as, or better than, any QB a handful of teams have on their roster (Cleveland, Chicago, Jets).
There's another handful of teams that are a crapshoot right now with their starters either because of injury (Indy /Luck, Baltimore/Flacco, and Denver/ Siemian, and of course Miami/Tannehill) or poor/questionable talent (SF, Houston, JAX, WASH, maybe BUFF).

I wonder what the prospects may be if we were able to keep him this year, and trade him next year? Any/many hot prospects eligible for next year's draft?
There's also another group of teams with starters old in the tooth, and crap for depth (AZ, PIT, CIN, maybe NO and NYG) that may offer an opportunity.
