FTL Jet Fan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Fitz costs 2-3 mill more a year in the off season imho Remember what happen after he got paid last time, no need for distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYallDay Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Loving what fitz is doing truly do. But please remember your history, last time he had a good season (granted this is a career year) he received an extension and sh*t the bed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Remember what happen after he got paid last time, no need for distractions. Forgive me but people making predictions for Fitz based on his "track record" are batting .000 this season Not to mention the bigger distraction is wondering whether he will be here next year. Locking him down ELIMINATES distractions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedWhofans Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I will say this. Once you find a QB in this league, you HAVE to find a way to keep him. Otherwise, you are going back to the search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is of course possible that Fitz wants to use FA as leverage. It would surprise me. He seems like the perfect guy who would take a hometown discount rather than risk injury/going to another team where he's a JAG again. But all bets off once agents/lawyers get involved. A deal requires two sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afosomf Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Fitz and his agent will laugh at Jets if they offered $7-9 per year. Bradford is making $13 mil per and Foles $12.5. Cutler, Kaep and Romo are making between $18 and $19 mill per. Thats Fitz range now because of the dirth of quality QBs, $12 to $18 per. Thats the way salaries are now.

PatsFanTX Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Send a message. Team guys who turn franchises around get rewarded here. Some desperate owner WILL bid Fitz up if we let it go there. Right now the love at an all time high: on both sides. Get a deal done ASAP. Fitz turned the Jets franchise around? Did he win a division title? AFC Championship game? A Super Bowl!? He barely beat the Pats JV squad. I'm with you, reward the guy big time for accomplishing absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometown discounts are really a myth or for a guy who is making $20M a yr and takes $18M. His agent will make sure he gets paid properly. He could become a cripple on his next play.

cant wait Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 With the quality GM/HC we have in charge the magic can continue. Marshall and Decker are going nowhere too. depends how long you think Marshall is going to play for. I really think he's the key to Fitz's success since he complements his style of play perfectly, if we can sign both for the next 2 years I'd be happy with keeping the status quo and adding more young talent through the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hometown discounts are really a myth or for a guy who is making $20M a yr and takes $18M. His agent will make sure he gets paid properly. He could become a cripple on his next play. I agree it is largely a myth. The only "discount" is if you leverage an information advantage to pay a guy below market. The only way for that advantage to exist is before the guy can test his market value in FA. Of course, you're probably right and it's naive to think back door communications between agent and teams doesn't happen all the time, even concerning guys under contract ("I represent a hypothetical client who has 29 TDs and 12 INTs this year... what kind of contract would he be offered by you, if he indeed existed?")

pointman Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 He's playing good football now. There was a patch where we were all down on him. Some were saying the season was over, and the even more down were saying to play Geno. Fitz can't think he is an elite qb all of a sudden. He'll get paid, but nowhere near top echelon money..and definitely not by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I didn't agree with you because I'm enjoying this postseason run, but as someone who's been very critical of fitz, the guy has been a professional and done his job at an acceptable level, which we haven't been able to say for a long time. The question is not whether fitz deserves to be extended, but if his success is a product of this team can we keep this unit together since the main target is an older free agent as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Jets QB history objectively, are you really willing to risk losing a 29/12 QB because you are worried he might be "a product of this team?" I'd say that's an opinion we just can't afford to have. Respectfully, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple years after he retires (to avoid suspicion) he will be signed to a lifetime gig with Pats for "services/appearances" which will basically be paying him back for taking half market value now. he will be the Pats' Bobby Bonilla... only with championships and a wife with a really spectacular ass.
