Jay Cutler spent time in a Tennessee jail Thursday after he was busted for driving while intoxicated and gun possession … TMZ has learned.

The former NFL star and ex-husband of Kristin Cavallari was arrested for DUI and 3 other offenses Thursday evening in the city of Franklin, TN. The other crimes were failure to exercise due care, violation of implied consent law, and possession of a handgun while under the influence.

Cutler was booked into the Williamson County Jail, where he posed for a scruffy mugshot — and, as you can see, the dude doesn’t look too happy. Jay posted $5,000 bond and was released later that night, according to a rep for the Franklin Police Department.

As you know, Jay was famously married to Cavallari for nearly a decade beginning in 2013, but they finalized their divorce in 2022. They starred in the popular reality show, “Very Cavallari,” which followed their life in Nashville with their 3 children — Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor.

During his 12 year NFL career, Cutler was a quarterback for the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins. He started his career with the Broncos in 2006 and retired from the Dolphins in 2017. In between, Cutler played for the Bears.
