That's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but each of the last six games were must-wins, and he went 5-1.
Fitzpatrick Thread -- Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets agree to 1-year, $12M deal

- Start date
That's ridiculous. I'm sorry, but each of the last six games were must-wins, and he went 5-1.
I'm ok with him losing last game if he makes $3M. I'm not ok with him asking for $15M when he hasn't won anything in his career. Get to playoffs and then he can have a raise.

Not to mention, he was clutch in those games. Led the team down the field and scored in the closing seconds to win at least twice. Once against the Patriots.

Yes, we hate waiting. But Fitz doesn't and shouldn't care about your patience. This is a business deal, he loses nothing by waiting and there's a chance another team will make an offer. It's win win for him to wait this out.

& more reps for petty.. i've heard hackenberg was practicing only with rookies & UDFAs..
has anyone heard otherwise??
Geno and petty are on the first field, hack on 2nd field.
Apparently petty and hack both showed poorly. Bad footwork, accuracy, understanding.

important training camp & preseason coming up for petty.....
Yes, but there's a reason people don't report mini camp, it's really nothing worth worrying about. It's just a walk through without pads. We have no idea what these guys were focusing on.
But the idea is that geno and petty were building chemistry with the 1 and 2s, and hack was worth the practice squad guys. But the future qbs working with the future wrs is a good thing. You don't want them to be strangers.

There is almost zero chance another team makes an offer unless someone is injured and even then those chances are remote that it would be for more money than the Jets offer. Start of TC he signs or we should move on completely.

As we've discussed here constantly, and I have repeatedly said, if a team is a playoff contender, and they have a major injury in camp, which happens, Fitz would be on the short list.

The question would be will it be a better situation and for more money. I would say I highly doubt it.

Who knows, but it doesn't hurt Fitz to wait. The Jets haven't put a deadline on him that I'm aware of.

It doesn't hurt the Jets either. They know what they are willing to spend. It doesn't matter at this point of the off season.

Let's just hope Fitz is practicing with the guys now and staying in shape. I'd like to ideally maximize team reps, but the salary cap is changing the game dramatically every year.

Even if a team suffers an injury to its starting QB, it's not a lock that they offer Fitz the kind of money he's asking for. Fitzpatrick is already well versed in Gailey's offense, and knows that Marshall and Decker boost his preformance. He also supposedly loves the NY area and has expressed a desire not to have to move the family again.
I'm going over 90% odds of him signing around training camp.
Listen, you don't have to sell me, at best we are guessers.
I'm just saying, there's a chance, and he could use it to negotiate a better year 2 salary or something. But, to go against myself, what team with playoff potential, and good qb,would sign Fitz for multiple years, he would only be a bandaid while the starter healed. What if geno was injured, the Jets would be forced to sign him to a better deal or forfeit the season.
But as long as the Jets don't give him a deadline, he doesn't have to sign. He's been a pro for a decade, this is his first summer with his family. Seeing pics of him on the town with his teammates helps me believe he's working with them for chemistry.
If Fitz continues just below last year's pace, he could play here for 5 years unless one of these kids actually steps up. Fitz is a good guy to have around. He's respectful, he's a leader, he had great morals, he teaches the kids to improve, he's a great spokesman for the team, he gives 100%on the field and inspires, and he put up some damn good numbers. Not to mention this team had some gutsy clutch performances to end the year.

I really don't want Fitz for 5 years. In 5 years, Fitz won't be able to throw it 15 yards. You will be looking at a 40-40 record depending on the schedule. I really think last year was an aberration. He is and always has been an average QB. Without Chan and our WR's, he has a small chance to succeed. He will not and can not carry a team. We played an easy schedule last year. I want Fitz for 1 year and at most two.
I think you miss the point. If he slips 20% he's light years better than what geno has shown. When I say 5 years, I mean he can be a steady qb worst case scenario vs being in the shit bin for a decade like many teams.
And if you look at his career you'll find it wasn't that far off from his pattern. When he had a good offense he's around 27td/15int, on bad teams and injury years for his offense he's about neutral.

I just don't want mediocrity for 5 years and at this point Geno sucks and Fitz had the best year his skills are capable of. I hope he proves me wrong, but all I know is the stat that matters and he has won zero playoff games and he has played in the exact same amount. He has had one winning season. Those are the stats that matter to me. The only thing that gives me a sliver of hope is he has chemistry with these guys which is why I want to see him for one more year at most.
