Jay Cutler is a former quarterback who played for both teams. In his twelve years in the NFL, he played eight seasons for the Bears, three for the Broncos and one with the Miami Dolphins.

During his three-year tenure with the Broncos, Cutler started 37 games but faced a challenging win-loss record of 17-20. He showcased his talent by throwing for 9,024 yards, 54 touchdowns and 37 interceptions. It was during his final season with the Broncos (2008) that he earned his first Pro Bowl appearance.
In 2009, Jay Cutler moved to the Chicago Bears, signing a lucrative five-year, $50.37 million contract. His tenure with the Bears was characterized by impressive performances, leading to a remarkable seven-year, $126.7 million contract extension after five years.
Over the course of eight years with the franchise, Cutler started 102 games, achieving a balanced record of 51 wins and 51 losses. He accumulated 23,443 yards at a pass completion rate of 61.8%, and he contributed 154 touchdowns while throwing 109 interceptions.
