New Dolphins QB Jay Cutler bought jersey number from third stringer

Jay Cutler impresses in first practice with the Dolphins. but can he do the same in NFL preseason Week 2?

New Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler has worn the No. 6 jersey number dating back to his rookie season with the Denver Broncos back in 2006.

Cutler, who inked a one-year deal with Miami earlier in the week, was not about to give up his number. Instead, he decided to purchase the No. 6 from 2016 seventh-round pick and current third-string quarterback Brandon Doughty.

“We worked something out,” Doughty said, via the Sun-Sentinel.

While Doughty would not get into specifics, one has to wonder what exactly Cutler offered him for the jersey number. Here’s a young late-round pick set to earn a base salary of just $465,000 this season.

To put that into perspective, Cutler will earn $625,000 per game this season and has already cashed into the tune of $112-plus million in his career.

Let’s hope for the sake of everything right in the world that Cutler didn’t low-ball this young man.
