Snell41 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 There has been absolutely no connections between the 2. More with RGIII and Kap. Yea, there was no connection with Forte coming here. I highly doubt Elway signs RG3, and to be honest can't see them trading for Kaep. Fitz is the perfect QB for that team, limited but smart.

He has a longer body of work which could help us save a little bit, but Osweiler 18M? Come on if he can get it playing 6-7 games with the best defense in 5-10 years winning the games for him, so can Fitz. Fitz is what he is. Part of what you pay for with an Osweiler is that he will continue to grow, that he isnt a fully developed player. Fitz is a 32 going on 33 year old QB who just had his career year that you pray can duplicate going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis spent last season holding a clipboard for Sam Bradford in Philadelphia. He'll slide in as San Francisco's No. 3 quarterback behind Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick. Lewis hasn't seen an NFL snap since 2013 when he started six games for Buffalo. Source: Rand Getlin on Twitter Mar 9 - 6:16 PM Mike Glennon - QB - Buccaneers ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned Mike Glennon as a possible trade target for Denver. The Broncos were caught off guard by Brock Osweiler leaving to join the Texans and are now scrambling to find a starting quarterback. Glennon was moderately successful as a rookie in 2013 but lost his job to Josh McCown the following season and didn't play at all behind Jameis Winston in 2015. Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin have also been mentioned as possible replacements for Osweiler. Related: Broncos Source: Lindsay Jones on Twitter Mar 9 - 6:23 PM Kapernick! Kappernick! Kapernick!

Wilkshake69 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I can't see anyone pay Fitz that asking price. Frankly if he can get it, he should take it. Given his career numbers last year, an aging offensive line, a soft schedule, and a relatively healthy season from his skill players it is not difficult to foresee regression from Fitzpatrick this coming season. If that is the case, I am not interested paying 17+ per year for slightly above replacement level QB play. If we lose him, we lose him. Go draft your next, hopefully, franchise QB.

The Broncos have a need at QB now, making a public asking price can create a bidding war between the Jets and other QB-needy teams. 18 millions is obviously ridiculous for Fitz in terms of cap value, but isn't ridiculous when compared to some of the other contracts handed out today.

He would be silly to do that in case some team is willing to go to 18.5 the hilarious agent leak is always the "player is close to signing"... leak. its like what's next, "no really he has a pen and he's about to use it..."

I think that it is still very possible that this leak came from his agent. Throwing out a number much higher than originally expected can generate more interest around the league because it hurts the perception that Fitz is definitely coming back to the Jets. It also can create an offer race if Fitz is willing to sign immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think some of you are underestimating how much even mediocre starting QBs make. The top 20 QBs in the NFL all make 16+mm per year, and that's only because of the starters on rookie deals -- it would be way more if guys like Luck were making market value. Starters in the NFL at QB simply don't make under 10mm per year. I don't think 18mm per year is realistic but it's still to say our absolute max should be 9 million. That's peanuts.
