The Chicago Bears made sure that Jay Cutler will be their quarterback for a much longer time. The Bears announced on Thursday that they signed Cutler to a seven-year contract extension through the 2020 season.
Bears general manager Phil Emery described Cutler as "a demonstrated winner" and said the team is "very excited to have Jay for the long term."
The financial terms weren't revealed, but FOX Sports 1 reporter Alex Marvez tweeted shortly after the announcement that an unnamed source said the new deal averages $18 million for the first three years.
Cutler, who was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent, threw for 2,621 yards and 19 touchdowns in 11 games played in 2013.
