Jay Cutler would take ‘less than starter money’ to join Texans?

Jay Cutler may end up being forced into retirement due to a lack of interest, but there is reportedly one team he would be willing to play for at a discounted rate.

According to ESPN’s Ed Werder, who says he has “spoken to people involved,” Cutler wants to continue playing and might consider taking less money to play for a contender like the Houston Texans.

Might have no other options considering lack of suitors. I think he wants to play and would take less than starter money for team like HOU https://t.co/Xh4YwaHcNR

Since the Chicago Bears released him, the only realistic suitor for Cutler that has been mentioned is the New York Jets, and they recently signed Josh McCown to a one-year deal. The Texans have a need at quarterback with no options beyond Tom Savage, but they will likely try to address that need in the draft first. If they end up missing out on one particular quarterback that Bill O’Brien supposedly loves, they might end up giving Cutler a look.
