In a shocking turn of events, former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested in Oct. 2024 for a DUI after rear-ending another driver and attempting to bribe them with $2,000 to not call the police. Cutler, who is now 42 years old, pleaded guilty to the DUI charges in Aug. 2025.
Earlier this week, on Oct. 1, 2025, Cutler was released from a Tennessee jail after serving a shortened 2.5-day sentence out of what was supposed to be a 4-day sentence. In addition to the jail time, Cutler was fined $350 and will remain on unsupervised probation for one year. His Tennessee driver's license has also been revoked.
Cutler's ex-wife, Kristen Cavallari, previously stated that she would not be commenting publicly on the incident, though she did wish Cutler "nothing but the best" and hoped he would get the help he needs. The former NFL star's representative and attorney have not responded to requests for comment on the shortened sentence.
