JetNation Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 By Glenn Naughton Multiple media outlets, including Kimberly Martin of Newsday, are reporting that the New York Jets current offer to free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is a 3-year deal, with the first season being worth $12 million. Source confirms #Jets have offered Fitzpatrick a three-year deal — and $12M in the first year (as @MarkCannizzaro said) — Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) May 27, 2016 This is the closest thing we’ve seen to “concrete” evidence in regards to where to two sides currently stand, but if that number is accurate, Fitzpatrick’s current holdout comes as quite the surprise as it’s close to double what the team’s initial offer was reported to be, at $7.5 million.

jetfan39 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 if these #'s are anywhere near correct, I have no idea what Fritz is wanting but I know I would not give it to him. He can go play in Canada for all I car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offer has been $12 million for four mnoths now....for Ryan Fitzpatrick...then please, tell me more about how "comfortable" the team is with Geno at QB. Can't wait to hear this.

Charlie Brown Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Now can the Fitz lovers stop with the Jets have been disrespecting Fitz nonsense. As many of us have said and speculated the Jets have offered Fitz in excess of $11 Million Dollars not Pesos but Dollars mind you and that is hardly an insult by any stretch of the imagination. If Fitz thinks that Jets should give him $16 million per year or a guaranteed multi year deal of in excess of $40 Million Dollars he and his fan brigade are nuts and IMO that includes "vacationing" Decker as well.

Personally I've said all along that we don't know what they're offering him. If this is correct, and they're offering him $12 milion and he's not taking it...move on and let him get half that from somebody to be a back-up. Sign the damn deal Fitz.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm going to withhold judgement but if those second and third years are anything beyond veteran backup mentor money, or just pretend years, then Maccagnan deserves to be fired and locked in a room playing nothing but Nickelback for 3-5.

I know your position and you weren't crazy. The crazy guy is Fitz' agent he is IMO making Fitz look a little mercenary during this process and that is something an agent shouldn't do.

Tom, I hate looking at giving him $12 mil, but Denver did call and balk at his asking price, but we have no idea what they offered or were willing to pay. That being said, what matters most is that $12 mil is too much for Fitz, unless years 2 and 3 are all incentive based in which he'll be paid as a back-up if he is in fact the back up.

Rangers9 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 This is probably nonsense. He doesn't cite his source. It's general and as non specific as the other rumors. Let him name his sources. And Kimberly cites Canizzaro. Probably he cited her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colgateman Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 12 million? That's exactly why the Jets a re a joke. Mike Maccagan is pathetic. Offering 12 million to a guy that no one wants? Don't worry Jets fans, you will all have a new HC/GM in 2017, I knew those two clowns wouldn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fan base can turn on a player fast and it can get real ugly quick. He needs to fire his agent if this goes south. Jets should be exploring backup QB market for a trade and let Fitz walk if he's really turning down $12 mil. Even call him before they do it to let him know that's the direction they're going after they hang up. If he doesn't come to his senses, move on.

Pay him $864 million for 2016 for all I care. But extending him beyond that would be a pretty Jetsy thing to do and would officially invalidate the goodwill that Maccagnan earned from me when he drafted a quarterback at the same time that Yoenis Cespedes hit a grand slam.
