GM: Jets seek 'middle ground' with Fitzpatrick

The New York Jets remain in a contract stalemate with free-agent quarterbackRyan Fitzpatrick, but general manager Mike Maccagnan hinted Friday he's willing to improve the team's current offer.

"We like Ryan -- we'd like to have Ryan back -- but at the end of the day, it's free agency," Maccagnan told reporters on a conference call. "You go through it. At some point in time, hopefully, we can find a middle ground we're both happy with."

The Jets have offered Fitzpatrick between $7 million and $8 million per year, sources said. Fitzpatrick is thought to be seeking twice that amount. Obviously, a lot depends on the guarantee and the structure of the contract, so there appears to be flexibility for both sides.


So Fitz wants 15 million bruhs?

I thought I read he wanted 10 but for like 5 years

 

[FaTaL]

He deserves 20

But that's not because of Fitz.

Ryan Fitpatrick demanding money?

20 million a year?

Shiddd Cam's next contract better be triple whatever that white boy get.

 

[Starman]

He deserves 20

Then where are all the other teams looking to pay him that much? Or even 15?

He didn't even take the jets to the playoffs

He wasn't even supposed to start last year.

Whatever he gets, I hope he gives 20% to that linebacker with the funny name who knocked out Geno.

I heard they wanna pay em 7m, if that's so that's just awful.

Give him 13m and call it a day and he better take it

But that's not because of Fitz.

You say that, but he had a better year than any Jet QB ever in 2015 and the offense really carried that team in a lot of games.

The man in your avi was punked and bytched by Sammy Watkins in the final game of the season, so don't act like he is the driving force to the 10-6 record

With Bradford and Osweiler making 18 each, you can't blame him for scoffing at 7.

He is better than both, and he is just going off of market value here. He deserves about 13.

You clearly did not watch any jets games

But besides that pay the man jets Fitz is clearly the solution
Give him the keys to the franchise

I watched enough to know that Fitzpatrick gave that team something they haven't had in a long ass time, an actual passing threat.
