Clementi49 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Does Fitz have an agreement in principle with the Rams??? LA radio has breaking news he does. Is this fake or real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTL Jet Fan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I just went to a website that had Fitz to LA and the page was taken down. Maybe a false report. Something called the Turfshow times was the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We cannot afford to waste good money on Fitzpatrick we know his ceiling we need to be finding ways to be able to afford Kaepernick if not go with Geno or Petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustiniak Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 one reason they're not in a rush to bring back fitz is b/c they will probably draft a qb high, and by next season either petty or the rook will be starting. mccags does not want to spend a lot of money for a multiple year deal on a qb who will not be starting after next season.

Rangers9 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 This could be Mac's Revis. Idzik got beat up for sitting on money and not signing cornerbacks. A lot of this imo was spin by Rex and his fans including Mehta. In this case Mac was left a lot of money which he liberally spent last year (including re-signing Revis for prohibitive money) and now he's faced with budgetary problems and it could mean he's not financially able to re-sign Fitz, etc. Look if we lose Fitz and because of this go backwards he's going to get grilled. Even though he was Exec of the Year in 2015. If Mac is a survivor he will find a way to re-sign Fitz and pay him market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that he can't find anyone that's going to pay him starter money. He knows it, the Jets know it, Fitz's agent knows it. Fitz already got paid a boatload by Buffalo for sucking at QB. It's time for him to be realistic and come back to the only team where a starting job is all but guaranteed for enough money. I am not worrying about Fitz coming back, and even if he doesn't, the Jets are prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he wants to pay Fitz $15mm a year for 3 years, but simply doesn't have the cap space? Is that what you're suggesting? Moreover, all players eventually get cut. you certainly don't cut Brick because you have to sign Fitz, you cut Brick because he's no longer worth the money he's being paid. We all saw him play last year....he wasn't close to his old self. He's now a below average LT. Poorly run franchises keep players around for sentimental reasons ..

Not sure I follow much of this but if Mac had left $15M unspent last year on the theory that we had to be ready to pay Fitz $18M per in 2016, he should have been fired before the draft.

Rangers9 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 What I'm saying is that a GM who fails to re-sign his starting Qb after the guy had a good year is asking for trouble. We know the kind of press and fan base we have here. They killed Idzik for various reasons including not signing a premium corner back and getting rid of Revis and Cro. And a Qb is more essential than a CB. Sure no one knew that Fitz was going to be more than a backup when we signed him last year. Geno was supposed to be the starter. Mac knew him from Houston and it was a great signing. But this is 2016 and we were a plus six in terms of games won under Fitz. Re-sign the dude.

Agree, but he would really get killed (maybe fired) if he gave Fitz 50M (stupid Eagles) and we watched him regress to the QB he was prior to last year, Jets would be back in rebuild mode for a year with a bunch of dead cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not be silly. If you want him you have to pay that. Some of these anti Fitz fans were the same people killing Idzik for not signing one overpriced cornerback two years ago. And applauding Mac for giving Revis 16 mill per season. 12.5 per season is below average for a starting Qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fitz wants starter money, then he is comparing; Bradford at 2 year 36m, Brock at 4yr, 72M, back up Chase Daniel at 3yr 21m Stupid Eagles have over 25 Million invested in crappy QB's next year, that is not good business...

You would think it's in the negotiation stage between Fitz and Mac. The 7 mil per season offer is definitely low balling. We don't know what Fitz is initially asking for. If Bradford money I agree it's way over his value. But in between the 7 and 18 is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 We don't even have over 10 million to pay him. He's not worth cutting guys from the roster for. We've already cut the guys on our list, Cumby, Kerley, I think Brenos next if we sign Beachum. We need money for our draft picks. My hope is there is already a deal with Dbrick to reduce his salary, maybe Mangold too, but Mac won't show that hand to these greedy agents keeping track of every penny each team has left. That would be a thing of beauty, sign Fitz for what Mac thinks is fair, redo Dbrick, Mangold, maybe even Revis, fill a few holes with some vets left out after the free agent feeding frenzy, go compete for our 1st division title in a long time. Go Mac, Go Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
