Social media is ripping on former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler over his social media post about killing an endangered species during a hunting trip in Africa.
On his Instagram account, Jay Cutler shared three photos of himself with a giant sable antelope that he killed during a hunting trip in an unspecified location in Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, Encyclopedia of Life and Tusk.org all list the giant sable antelope as a “critically endangered” species.

“I can see why Kristin left him,” a fan said.
“This is nothing to brag about,” another quipped.
Jay Cutler was one of the more highly criticized quarterbacks during his tenure with the Bears, so we’re sure he was fully prepared for the backlash on this post.
Remember, many Bears fans accused Cutler of “quitting” on their team in the 2010 NFC Championship Game after he left the game with an MCL sprain. Backup Caleb Hanie had to finish the game in place of an injured Cutler as the Bears fell 21-14 to the archrival Green Bay Packers.
Cutler also didn’t help his reputation by performing poorly after signing a lucrative seven-year extension worth $126.7 million in 2014.
Cutler initially retired from football after the 2016 season, three years after signing the nine-figure extension with Chicago. But the Miami Dolphins, who lost starting QB Ryan Tannehill for the season, convinced Cutler to come out of retirement.
Jay Cutler was Miami’s main starting QB in 2017. His tenure there was headlined by a near-flawless performance in a “Monday Night Football” victory over Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
