Jets want middle ground with Fitzpatrick

[tru_m.a.c]

I kinda think Fitz deserves double.

Not because he's worth it. But the market is paying Osweiler and "You Like That!" a lot of money, so...

The market being terrible teams with terrible GMs

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?

14-16 million for noodle arm ?what ?
geno its your time to shine

Except I'm generally correct.

Winston is without a doubt on Luck and Wilson level as rookies.

 

[Man On Fire]

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

The way he played against the Bills dude is lucky they want to bring him back

Jets should tell him take yet or leave it

Trade for Kaep

White backup QB since Matt Cassel = #hunnidwins #noloses

I'm saying. The nerve of this guy.

His football knowledge is . Just like his morals in real life.

I'm proud of the Jets. Our fan base overrates the fukk outta Fitz. Chan Gailey hates having to cover for him scheme wise in spite of their success.

Not in all my years watching football, I mean many years, I started in the 80's. I just never saw a garbage ass QB with so much power. I would tell his ass to kick rocks. He wants all this money and he single handedly lost the game against the Bills to go to the playoffs. And you want 16-18 mil per year.

It's amazing how white QB's get away with this bullshyt. Let Tyrod Taylor try some shyt like this. They will let him walk and pick up Charlie Whitehurst in a heartbeat.

The fact that Super Bowl winning Broncos do not want Fitz...tells us all we need to know
The Jets are better off with Geno....then RG3 or Kaep trade.

Knowing the Jets, they will pay Fitz what he wants...his play and the team record wouldn't live up to the contract.

 

[JLova]

would never sign this dude. What if Chan gets a HC job or is fired? What do they do with Fitz? He is utterly useless without him.

Dude threw 30 TEs and QB starved teams have no interest? Tells you everything you need to know huh?

Tyrod Taylor could hold out and should. He deserves more money.

No one overrates Fitzpatrick. But he's going to be here until they can find someone better. Supply and demand.

Of course Fitz is overrated by general media and fans. You are overrating him by saying he is our best option. A 30+ year old backup is not our best option; our 3rd year 2nd rounder Geno Smith is. Fitz was and remains a waste of time and money, precisely as stated.
