Fitzpatrick Thread -- Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets agree to 1-year, $12M deal

I'm coming around to this way of thinking. Fitz does give us the best chance in 2016, but that's not the whole story. It's easy for fans (and Gary Myers) to say "just pay him already". Setting market values aside, does anyone really think it's smart to pay a mediocre QB 16-18 million dollars over 2-3 years? I personally believe that Fitz is in the best situation with the Jets because of Chan Gailey. He plays his best football under him. Away from Gailey, Fitz hasn't been very good. But he's a 33 year old QB who's had more average to below average years in this league than good years. I respect Macc's decision to stay firm with his offer. Don't overpay by that much if you aren't sure.


Agree...he is not worth 11-12 .. 7-8 is a good value. His agent needs to WT*U because he could be on the outside looking in if they decide that they have had enough drama. As for Myers he is an ass and should just go away.

Where was the Den offer of $5 mill reported?

they reported they gave him an offer...

reading between the lines in a conference call John Elway stated there are two types of quarterbacks in this league top tier guys you pay over $15 Million and then there are the other guys you pay $5 M and under... We know there is no way in hell, the Broncos see Fitz as a $15 M per QB otherwise that type of offer he would of jumped at which would be nearly double what was reported the Jets offered of $7 M avg. ...

if reading between the lines just look whom they traded for Mark Sanchez - 2016 pay $4.5 M... So there is no way if they offered Fitz a contract offer that was for more than $5 M... That is what I said...

I wouldnt mind Glennon but no way do i give up what you think we should. Maybe a fourth, tops.

Multiple teams want him, so it's gonna take more than a 4. The kid put up more than solid numbers as a rookie, on a horrible team. He should only progress. This trade can change the franchise, more than any other move we can make

Fitzpatrick Thread -- Talks have stalled; RG3 Visiting the Jets

Name Any of our 2nd or 3rd round picks the last 5 years and ask yourself would you trade them for Glennon? Kid has a huge arm and has proved he can at least be competent. He hasn't hit his ceiling , IMO. Pull the damn trigger

Francesa will say anything to get attention. Bucs are fishin'. If Glennon is anything why is he not the starter. They are not getting 2nd for him let alone a 1st. Sucker sales pitch looking for a buyer.

completely agree..

i hope team fitzpatrick is taking this news more seriously than the jets springing for dinner on griffin..

I'm really hoping the RGIII ship has sailed. I don't want him. I thought he was overhyped prior to that draft, and I was actually right for once regarding draft projections.

the jets, much like everyone else still in the market for a QB don't seem to be in any rush to sign griffin.. apparently not even for sake of depth..

back on topic.. again, glennon in my mind is a much more realistic alternative for the jets as fitzpatrick's immediate replacement..

i could live with glennon going into camp as the guy to beat as our starting QB..

that said, i have no interest in going higher than a three to get him.. you??

if "multiple teams" want him, why would you think he's still on the market??

I think a 3rd is about right. I view Glennon similarly to Fitzpatrick: not a franchise QB, but capable of getting a team deep into the playoffs with the right supporting cast.

You think the reports are all bogus ? The Bucs know the kid has talent , so they are gonna hold him , unless they get proper value back.

do you think fitzpatrick will take the jets supposed interest in glennon seriously enough to lower his asking price, whatever that is..

has it been reported what fitzpatrick is asking for aside from more than the jets have offered to this point?? if so, i've missed it..

Multiple teams are interested in kap, why isn't he traded either? Because the teams are looking to maximize compensation.
Fitz had an offer, why hasn't he signed? Same reason.
