VIDEO: Brandon Marshall Reveals Insane Story Where Jay Cutler Bailed Him Out of $60K in Gambling Debt
By Andrew Gullotta
Former Bears and Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler may not have been as bad a teammate as people make him out to be. The quarterback's former receiving target Brandon Marshall shared a story that'll change your mind, and unlock his wild side. According to Marshall, Cutler gave the Pro Bowl receiver $60,000 for debt accumulated for gambling activity. This impromptu story came up after Marshall explained the temptation of outside distractions in Las Vegas.
Yeah, Marshall got sucked into a BIT of trouble in Vegas one day, and opened up a line of credit on a whim to help him purchase suites and all that good stuff. The next thing he knew, he owed the Mirage PLENTY of cash, and it was Cutler to the rescue!
This story shouldn't surprise anyone who has followed Marshall's career, as he has been known as bit of a locker room...issue, to say the least. Marshall's erratic behavior involved forcing his way out of several cities.
Brandon Marshall revealed on the I AM ATHLETE podcast that Jay Cutler once gave him $60,000 to pay for his Las Vegas gambling debt.

Marshall: "I call Jay. He's like this is what we’re gonna do, you’re gonna sign a paper. You owe me. Soon as I landed, he had that $60,000 check."
In Chicago, the former All-Pro had two very successful seasons, where he amassed over 1,200 yards in both seasons. However, his third season in the Windy City was rough. He threw the QB that loaned him the $60K, Cutler, under the bus multiple times. By the end of Marshall's run with the Bears, their relationship soured, and the receiver was traded to the Jets.
Guess he likely had to find his money elsewhere in NYC, huh?
