The Jets MUST find someone signficantly better than Fitz, and that starts with someone who has more talent and less limitations. So that could be Petty, it could be a draft pick, it could be a solid backup that has not a chance, but starting Fitz accomplishes nothing IF your goal is long term success. If the goal is short term competiitiveness and a more fan friendly 2016 product with less emphasis on sustained success then start Fitz. I think that is 100% not the way to go. You seriously believe a draft pick or Petty could play better than Fitz did a year ago? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think they'll eventually come to a 3/27 agreement with $12-14 garaunteed, cuttable by year 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Kirk Cousins is about to get $18-20M per season. Yes, you read that correctly. That's how desperate the QB situation is around the league. When you have a QB, you don't let him walk. Re-sign Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a weak QB class, and not much out there in the FA market. Don't want t o see it, rather see smith gone before the draft, but it's possible he is here until the first QB get's hurt in camp.

Well don't forget that Geno has a "workout bonus" in his contract, from what I can see. If he shows up to the offseason workout program (starts Apr 18), he gets a $415,000 "workout bonus". So I would think that April 18th is the deadline for us to work out a trade. I doubt we pay Geno $415,000 to show up to a voluntary offseason workout program if we have no intention of him being on the final 53-man roster. I'm not sure if that money counts against the cap, but if it does, he will DEFINITELY be gone by then unless we plan to keep him until his contract expires after 2016.

This whole post is silly. The minute Cousins faced top competition, he folded like a tent, much like Fitzpatrick critics like to rip HIM for. Cousins also looked awful against the Jets: Did you forget that part already? Meanwhile, in no way, shape or form am I advocating paying Fitz big dollars, particularly not in the neighborhood that Cousins is about to get. I think Fitz will end up signing for about half as much (on a per season basis) compared to Cousins. Cousins is about to be paid like a franchise QB. Fitz will be paid like a stopgap starter. HUGE difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting Geno Smith again? GET REAL. Geno Smith is DONE as a Jet. You know it and so do I. Don't forget we have a bet going on this. You're going to owe Elias $50.

The decision on Geno isn't going to come down to $415k - which is relative chump change. It's going to come down to the other QBs in the fold, and/or what anyone is willing to offer in a trade (hint: not much). If they draft a QB high -meaning first or second round- he's gone. If they don't, there's no reason to think he won't make it at least until training camp. You need four arms in camp, and they're not going to cut Geno just to replace him with an UDFA. That would be dumb, no matter how satisfying it might be for an emotional fanbase. I do think the Jets will be looking to resign Fitz and draft his eventual replacement this year, too, though.

It will have absolutely zero impact on their decision regarding Geno. It's all about maximizing the QB position, nothing about $415k. They'll happily pay that money if they think Geno has the potential to make the roster, or might be worth even a conditional seventh rounder in a trade over the summer. I realize you're in campaign mode here, but this attempt at a point missed. Dont worry, like I said, I expect the Jets to take a QB high and lose Geno. It might not be until next preseason, but I don't expect him on the regular season roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
