Jay Cutler, who spent the first three years of his career as the Broncos’ quarterback, apparently has the itch to continue playing sports. He retired from football in 2018 and now has a new interest: handball.
“I do want to get a team together, for the Olympics they have handball,” Cutler said during a recent appearance on Pardon My Take. “It’s basically like a little ball that you throw around and then throw into a goal.
“So it’s like soccer — indoor soccer — with a ball that you throw. There’s a U.S. team [and] like I want to go and do that. Just throwing missiles.”
If Cutler is serious about his quest to play handball, he should probably talk with former teammate Jake Plummer, who takes the sport pretty seriously.
Given that Denver benched Plummer during the 2006 season in favor of Cutler, a conversation between the two ex-QBs might be a little awkward, but it’s probably worth a shot if Cutler wants to break into the sport.
As for the Olympics, Cutler could probably help Team USA if he’s any good. The U.S. has never won a medal for handball at the Olympics.
