Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has officially resolved his DUI case in Tennessee, TMZ Sports has learned — and the plea deal comes with a short stint behind bars.
According to law enforcement sources, Cutler appeared in a Williamson County courtroom Tuesday, where he pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss a weapon possession charge after Cutler forfeited the firearm.
Jail Time, Fines, and Probation
As part of the agreement:
- Cutler was sentenced to four days in jail, which he is required to serve by the end of next month.
- He must pay a $350 fine.
- Cutler will be on supervised probation for one year.
- His Tennessee driver’s license has been revoked for one year.
- He is also required to attend a DUI safety class.
This resolution allows the former NFL star to close the chapter on this legal issue, though the jail time and probation remain firm conditions of the plea.
How It Happened
The charges stem from a traffic accident in Franklin, Tennessee, on October 17, 2024. According to police reports:
- Cutler allegedly rear-ended another vehicle.
- Officers reported he reeked of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, and was slurring his words.
- The incident initially also involved a weapon possession charge, which has now been dismissed under the plea deal.
Kristin Cavallari and Family Reaction
Cutler’s ex-wife, Kristin Cavallari, publicly addressed the situation in a past episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, expressing that she wishes him “nothing but the best.”
- Cutler and Cavallari married in 2013 and divorced in 2020.
- They share three children together.
Despite their split, Cavallari’s response reflects a continued cordial co-parenting relationship.
Jay’s Current Life
Since the divorce, Cutler has moved on and is now engaged to Samantha Robertson, who reportedly offered support after his arrest.
While Cutler hasn’t made a public statement regarding his plea deal, sources indicate he is taking the legal consequences seriously and plans to comply fully with all court requirements.
What’s Next
With his DUI case officially resolved, Cutler will begin his jail sentence and probation obligations in the coming weeks. Fans and observers will be watching to see how he navigates this chapter of his life while maintaining his focus on family and his future with Robertson.
