Jay Cutler has come out of retirement to sign a one-year contract at Miami Dolphins, according to NFL.com.

It is claimed the quarterback has agreed deal worth up to $10m (£7.6m) with incentives that could total up to $3m (£2.3m).

Dolphins head coach Adam Gase admitted earlier this weekend that he had held a brief conversation with Cutler and said the 34-year-old was potentially interested in the move.

Gase has been on the lookout for a replacement for Ryan Tannehill, who is currently on the sidelines because of a knee injury.

Tannehill was hurt during practice in the week and there are questions whether he will be able to play at all during the 2017-18 season, with surgery a possibility.
