Jay Cutler has agreed upon a one-year, $10 million deal with the Miami Dolphins. Cutler could earn an additional $3 million in incentives.

Adam Gase has played a significant role in convincing Cutler of the reasons he should play for the Dolphins. Miami also raised its salary offer to Cutler.

Cutler retired in May from the NFL to join Fox Sports as a game analyst.

The Dolphins targeted Cutler because of the likelihood that Ryan Tannehill will undergo surgery to repair stretched ligaments in his left knee.
