Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested Thursday in Tennessee for alleged driving under the influence and possession of a gun.

According to TMZ Sports, Cutler was charged with driving under the influence, failure to exercise due care, violation of the implied consent law and possession of a gun while intoxicated.

Franklin police confirmed to TMZ that Cutler was booked into the Williamson County Jail and released after posting $5,000 bail.

Additional details about Cutler’s arrest are not available at this time.

Cutler had a 12-year NFL career from 2006 to ’17 with three different teams. He was originally drafted with the 11th overall pick by the Denver Broncos and spent three seasons with the club. He threw for 4,528 yards and made the Pro Bowl his senior year in Denver.

The Broncos traded Cutler to the Chicago Bears prior to the 2009 season. He led them to a division title and appearance in the NFC Championship Game in his second season with the Bears.

Chicago went 27-13 with Cutler as the starting quarterback during a three-season stint from 2010 to ’12. The team had a streak of four consecutive non-losing seasons from 2010 to ’13, the longest streak for the franchise since 1984 to ’88.

After eight seasons with the Bears, Cutler retired and took a broadcasting job with Fox Sports in May 2017. Three months later, he was lured back to the field when the Miami Dolphins needed a quarterback after Ryan Tannehill suffered a season-ending injury.

After the 2017 season, Cutler retired for good again. He finished his career with a record of 74-79 in 153 starts.
