Former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested Thursday in Tennessee for allegedly driving intoxicated and allegedly offered the other driver he rear-ended $2,000.

Officers responded to the 200 block of Bridge Street at around 5 p.m. in Franklin, Tennessee on the report of a minor traffic collision involving two vehicles.

Cutler, 41, allegedly rear-ended another vehicle and was slurring his words with blood shot eyes, according to police. He initially told police he did not consume any alcohol and then said he had “a little bit” when questioned further, documents obtained by WGN News state.

He refused field sobriety tests and was taken to a hospital where a blood sample was taken through a warrant.

Cutler had two firearms, a rifle and a loaded Glock pistol, located in his vehicle.

Cutler allegedly attempted to flee the scene after offering the other driver $2,000 to not call the police, documents state.

If he isn't broke, he will end up there. Too much money and not grounded in anything.

Talk about someone who had it all and threw it all away.

I’ll just say that there’s nothing wrong with offering the other driver cash rather than going through the insurance mess. It’s done all the time when it’s just a fender-bender.
The article implies there’s something underhanded about this.

In Tennesse why is it illegal to have a handgun and a rifle in your car?

Maybe he had “everything” but nothing.

I know what that’s like.

It wasn’t insurance. It was the police. He was drunk.

If he was intoxicated and had possession of a loaded firearm, that would be illegal.

Two grand for rear ending my car?

Jay needs to come up with a little more than that if he want to make a bribe.

He should have starred at $20k.

The person he hit should have started with “For $75k, I can make it go away.”

Tennessee? The gun charge will be dropped (if there is one) He’ll get a severe pain in the ass going to DUI Assessments and lose his license for 6 months or so and end up with a 10,000 dollar payout to the state - not pleasant at all.

Yeah, not wise, but still not illegal.

Yep, probably from his high school days to his Vanderbilt days, he could do anything and get away with it, because he was a star Quarterback.

Then he goes to the NFL, where for the first time he has to deal with adversity and he can’t handle it.

$2,000 will buy a lot of Uber rides.
Just sayin’.

“he could do anything and get away with it”

Or in the case of college, do little to no work and get away with it just so he can play football and make money for the school and conference.

We got a new admin assistant in my department once fresh out of Clemson that had been a tutor for football players.

I asked her how much help they usually needed from them and in stone faced seriousness she said “make no mistake, when it comes to football players, the tutors do ALL of it”.

Oh, it’s OK in Tennessee to have a handgun and a rifle in your car, just not in your ear.

I don’t know what that has to do with anything... it’s Friday and my funny bone is a bit quirky...
