Jay Cutler doesn’t exactly light it up during press conference situations. He appears uncomfortable and a bit put out.
However, Cutler comes off much looser during his weekly radio gig on WMVP-AM 1000. He must enjoy it because he just signed up for another season.
According to WMVP program director Adam Delevitt, Cutler is “the only QB in the NFL that does a live one-hour show one person on site.
“Other QB’s have call in deals with stations, but no other QB shows up on site for one hour.”
Here are the details:

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, who spent last year as a regular on ESPN 1000’s “Waddle & Silvy Show” is back for a second exclusive year on ESPN Chicago ((1000)).
Bears fans will hear their quarterback live between 5-6 p.m. CT every Monday during the regular season, pending the team’s schedule, beginning Monday, Sept. 9. The show is presented by Miller Lite, which is the official beer of the Chicago Bears.
“With the regular season right around the corner, I’m looking forward to re-joining Waddle & Silvy and everyone at ESPN 1000 for the second season of our radio show,” Cutler said. “It’s a great opportunity to talk football with the guys, share some insight on our season and to interact with the great fans we have here in Chicago and beyond.”
The long-standing relationship between Cutler and co-hosts Tom Waddle, a former Bears player, and Marc Silverman led to their show becoming the only place to hear the Bears’ quarterback for a full hour on a weekly basis.
“ESPN Chicago is excited for the return of Jay Cutler for a second season,” John Cravens, VP and General Manager, ESPN Chicago said. “Jay provides an inside perspective that gives every Chicago sports fan something they have never seen or heard before. It is always a great listen when he joins Waddle and Silvy”.
Fans will be able to read stories, reactions and converse with each other about “The Jay Cutler Show” on ESPNChicago.com, where there will also be videos, podcasts and more.
