Cutler refused field sobriety tests and was taken to a local hospital where a blood sample was obtained through a blood search warrant. A police search of Cutler's vehicle revealed that he had two firearms in his possession, including a loaded pistol.As part of his plea deal, the weapon possession charge was dismissed. According to WSMV, Cutler agreed to "forfeit" the pistol in the deal. Cutler was a first-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2006 where he played until 2008. He was traded to the Chicago Bears during the 2009 draft and played 102 games through the 2016 season and is the franchise's all-time leading passer with 23,443 yards and 154 touchdowns.
