The freaking out here over potentially paying Fitz $5m more than he's viewed as being worth is nothing short of hilarious. It always cracks me up watching fans play "financial watchdog" with their teams budget, especially when the arguments become so over-the-top that a shot at winning something becomes secondary to seeing which fan cares more about saving the team money.

Fitz money isn't going to effect anything in 2016 really. 1) Revis is rapidly declining. 2) Revis had absolutely nothing to do with the last Pats Super Bowl win. Actually, he totally sucked in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Just like he did in week 17 last year in a "win and in" game. Gotta love the Jets for paying him $17MM for the upcoming season.

flgreen Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 smith's "next question" interview By: Connor Hughes | 24 hours ago With the Jets having just wrapped up their second of 10 organized team activity practices, Jets Wire has hit the Twitter universe to compile a few questions for a quick fan Q&A. Again, this is just a quick Q&A, and Jets Wire will still have a more in-depth mailbag as usual on Sunday. have any additional questions? Feel free to shoot over an email, or drop a comment in the comment section below. 25 May Connor Hughes ✔@Connor_J_Hughes Questions following #Jets OTAs? Send them my way. Will take 5-6 and answer them in a post. Follow [~Steve Gailey~] @ReaperJet @Connor_J_Hughes Did Geno Roll his eyes, or make any expression at all when he was Testy for no reason? Did he spit? 4:23 PM - 25 May 2016 Retweets 22 likes HUGHES: Going to get this one out of the way early. Here’s what happened in the locker room: For the most part, Geno Smith’s interview with reporters was fine. He answered all questions, gave good answers was positive and even took some of the harder ones thrown his way. A lot of his quotes can be found here. With that being said, towards the end of his interview, he got “testy” with a reporter, which I tweeted, and apparently that didn’t resonate well for lack of additional information — twitter character limits hurt that. Smith was asked a question regarding Ryan Fitzpatrick and if he’d like to see him come back. Smith responded asking, essentially, “why” the reporter was asking him that question. The reporter responded by saying, “Because you’re his teammate.” Nothing crazy or wild there. Smith though, didn’t like that. He turned around and said “next question.” Updated: Here’s the complete question-and-answer that led to Smith’s “next question” comment. Q: Do you want him to come back?Geno: That’s up to the front office and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Why would I speak on that? Q: Because he’s your teammateGeno: He’s not my teammate, right now, but I see what you’re saying. Q: Last year. . .Geno: Next question The same reporter tried to ask another question (different question) and Smith responded “next question” three or four more times. The reporter then said “that is the next question,” to which Smith ignored it. He was asked questions by other reporters, before the reporter who asked the original question asked another, to which Smith responded again “next question.” The AP actually had some well-timed video of the incident: I would describe that as testy, and unneeded. It wasn’t a loaded question being asked to Smith; he just didn’t like it. There were some words after the mics were turned off, but I’m not going to get into that here. 25 May Connor Hughes ✔@Connor_J_Hughes Questions following #Jets OTAs? Send them my way. Will take 5-6 and answer them in a post. Follow Andrew Soliz @nyase21 @Connor_J_Hughes @JetsInsider Who do you think has the better chance to start opposite of Revis if Skrine takes the slot? Milliner/Williams? 4:29 PM - 25 May 2016 Retweets 11 like HUGHES: Today it was a mix, and defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers seemed to indicate that would continue with the cornerback rotation. With Darrelle Revis out, the three “starting” were Buster Skrine, Dee Milliner and Marcus Williams. My assumption is that come the regular season, it’ll be Revis and Skrine in base, with Skrine moving inside and Williams outside in nickel. If an injury occurs to Revis or Williams, Milliner will be the next-man-up on the outside. That seemed to be the case today. Don’t sleep on Dexter McDougle though; he got some nice looks inside Wednesday. 25 May Connor Hughes ✔@Connor_J_Hughes Questions following #Jets OTAs? Send them my way.

Follow Joe Blewett @joerb31 @Connor_J_Hughes What will the bottom of the depth chart look like at WR? lots of young talent there Marshall/Peake/Ross/Thompkins/Anderson 4:22 PM - 25 May 2016 · Long Branch, NJ, United States Retweets 11 like HUGHES: So, so early and it’s really hard to tell. I think the fact the Jets are working Jalin Marshall and Robby Anderson as kick returners says they’re trying to find a player with dual value — which goes hand-in-hand with what they wanted last year. At the end of the day, I think you’ll see Jeremy Ross and Charone Peake make the team with Jalin Marshall landing on practice squad. Again, though, that can change so quickly. Too early to tell off of just one OTA (Jets have had two but media in attendance for just one). 25 May Connor Hughes ✔@Connor_J_Hughes Questions following #Jets OTAs? Send them my way.

Keeping with what the Jets did last year, they split the team in two during the “team portion.” The rookies and young guys near the bottom of the depth chart go to the far field away from reporters, while the veterans practice in front of the media. Todd Bowles adopted this from Bruce Arians in Arizona, as it gives players a chance to get a ton more reps. Unfortunately, Hackenberg was on the far field, and as a result, it’s impossible to tell you how he did. He could have thrown five touchdowns, or five picks, for all we know. During individuals, he looked solid, if that’s any consolation. Had nice zip on his passes and was accurate on most. 25 May Connor Hughes ✔@Connor_J_Hughes Questions following #Jets OTAs?

Follow vdv @vdv7 @Connor_J_Hughes do either of the rookie LBs look like they may start week 1? 4:29 PM - 25 May 2016 Retweets likes HUGHES: Too early to tell just two OTAs in, but I think Jordan Jenkins has a better chance to start than Darron Lee. Lee will be worked in based on the team the Jets are playing, but they’re very content with Erin Henderson and David Harris in the middle. Jenkins worked primarily with the second unit on Wednesday as Trevor Reilly was in there with the 1s. I’d expect that to change as we get a few more weeks into this thing. *** Connor Hughes covers the Jets and is the managing editor of Jets Wire.He can be reached on Twitter (@Connor_J_Hughes), or via email (chughes@usatoday.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason423 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Decker sees the writing on the wall for himself if Fitzpatrick isnt around this year. This is a potential free agent season for him given his contract and he knows his numbers will go down the tubes again with Geno/Hackenberg as QB. Decker already got dinged as a byproduct receiver when he came to the Jets which may not have been completely fair, but it is what it is. So there is a vested interest in the Jets bringing back Fitzpatrick. Really this applies to most vets on the team, all of whom are in danger if the Jets make the turn to rebuilding with a younger roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike135 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Never want to root for an injury, but this is on a general level, no player or team in particular. Sure would be nice if some team's starting QB went down during OTAs so another team swoops in for Fitz. Granted it might also take that team's #2 going down as well to get them interested in Fitz, but hey it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything this has gone on too long and has most certainly becoming a distraction. It would be different if Fitzpatrick was a perennial all pro quarterback, but this guy was a journey man QB who had a Cinderella season for us last year and still could not get into the playoffs.

T0m mentioned that you had posited on your site that Decker and Skrine are ideal restructure candidates (based on their age, talent, and current contracts). I see Decker's OTA absence as a brilliant business move. I love it. Being personally, and publicly vested in getting Fitz on the roster makes him an even more ideal candidate to approach for a contract restructure, IMO. It says, "I want that player on the team...I'll do anything to support him" It's all warm and fuzzy on the outside. But in reality, a restructured contract could add years (and dollars) to his own contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP63 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I love Decker, but screw him. Seriously, Fitz will not win us a SB or even win us a playoff game. He's on the bad end of 30, and had one good season that he will certainly not come even close to repeating. He can piss and moan all he wants, but he's a player, not the GM.

They're for the whole team. Rodgers-Cromartie, 30, had skipped the Giants’ opening OTA workout on Monday. The sessions are fully voluntary, but the veteran’s absence was conspicuous, in large part because every other key player was on hand for the start of the on-field portion of the Giants’ offseason. “We want all our guys here,” head coach Ben McAdoo had said Monday. “We feel it’s important to developing the team and building fundamentals and working on communication and we can’t wait to get DRC back.” http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/giants-secondary-full-strength-rodgers-cromartie-shows-article-1.2648076 NFL Network was focused on DeSean Jackson missing OTAs. And all ex-players on the networks say they're "optional". Basically if you're a key player and/or good teammate, you're there. Decker and Marshall need to get to work.

Their's no honor in the NFL, so I don't fault players for holding out when teams don't honor contracts. And take note I'm not even a Fitz fan, would sign him for 8 mill or under. Edit: And with that said who honestly gives a **** about this non-story. Decker's showing support for his friend and qb the best way he thinks he can. There is no way in hell he holds out and risks getting fined so who honestly gives a sh*t? I'm sure his coaches and the teammates of his that decided to actually show up and put in the work and build on last season as a team give a small sh*t about him deciding to skip out, especially when it's for someone else who, as of right now, isn't even apart of the team. Also, Douche Canoe Decker knew when OTAs were. He conveniently goes for his family vacation the first week of them? Either he's an a*shole, stupid, or all of the above. Marshall is running some charity events judging by social media and Mangold had a kid, nevermind that both of those guys are both older than Eric. Decker had from January to most of May to find time for a vacation. He chose the first week of OTAs by pure chance? Bullsh*t. Then it also comes out from 3 different reporters that sources close to him said that his absence was no coincidence. He's coming off as a child.

I don't feel like going thru this entire thing here. but to the bolded, that's the best thing that can happen. the worst is you flush a season down the toilet. we both want the same thing, but see the means to get there differently. you want to throw a young guy in there(in this case, literally hand geno his 4th starting gig,unearned) and see what he can do. I want a young guy to earn his start. Fitzpatrick is the jets best available option at this point. can geno be better than fitz? sure. but I will believe it when I see it. I am sure that's the way the coaching staff is looking at it also. for me, fitz is a stop gap bridge qb. nothing too fancy,but he is a competent qb and leader and plays well for the most part. he is not going to carry a team on his back, but he will do until something better comes along/developes. I consider him a 1 or 2 year insurance policy. after they sign fitz(its about 100% going to happen) and geno pulls a Russell wilson and takes the job from fitz. that's absolutely great. nobody is going to care about the 10m spent on fitz when the jets are receiving better qb play. if geno doesn't pull a Russell Wilson, well we get to watch at least competent qb play and win some games. that's my take. I like Fitzpatrick, but I would like better. I don't hate geno and havnt given up on him. I just think he is a long shot and way too much a gamble to gift him the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though with that said, you look at the 2013/2014 defensive team and THAT wasnt even Jet-like. Now you put all of that together into one season...then tell me the last time you seen something similar to that on another team. You'd be truly hard-pressed to find it. This is another reason why I would prefer to go the Geno route. The fact that I can even make such an argument shows how this team underachieved. Then when I think of underachievement....I look at the 4th quarter of the Bills game when we're down 21-17, and couldnt score a point.....but threw 3 interceptions. When things like that happen to a young guy its one thing, but when it happens to a veteran that seems to always end up in situations where at the end of the season it just doesnt work out....not matter the team (all 5 teams), im more than okay to give the opportunity to some young guys. The worst that can happen is we develop one. Dude ... You've got big blinders on if you don't realize that the change at QB was a nice contributor to all of the positive things that happened. (Somehow instead you've convinced yourself that the good things happened in spite of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
