Bradford's two year, $36 million deal ($22 million guaranteed) with the Eagles can essentially put to rest any thoughts of signings Fitz for $7-8 million a year.
Unless we can trade Mo, Snacks is as good as gone and we aren't going to have jackshit to play with in FA.

I think we are going to have to wait until FA (or well into the legal tampering period) before we see Fitz being re-signed.
The market will set his value. He will field other offers and, once he knows what is out there, sign with the Jets...if he has any sense, and if the Jets make a fair offer.

The Bradford deal already essentially set his value Now I'm tempted to just say "fuck it" and just let Fitz walk and ride it out with Geno for a year. |

Oh goddamit Can someone move this to the runway? Moved. Our cap situation is pretty bad -- if we are going to keep Mo, I am hoping we can get him signed to a deal with a cap hit well below the $15.7MM tag. I think we are down to about $7MM in space right now. We can probably get to the $20s if we cut Kerley, Cumby, maybe Breno. Brick is a candidate for pay cut. Maybe restructure a guy like Decker or one or two other vets. Even if we get to $25MM and we have to pay Fitz $12M-$15M, that wont leave us with a whole lot of space for our other FAs including our own, especially since we are probably going to need $5 - 6 mil for our draft class. Macc is going to have to earn his pay this offseason. |

Fuck that. Mac pays that he's a lunatic, 18 mil to not go to the playoffs and watch the NFC west annihilate him. |

I really can't see Fitz approaching $18M a year, even with the Bradford deal.
Bradford is a former #1 overall pick, with prototype size and a good arm.
Fitz is actually the better QB but, given his journeyman status, I don't think he tops $12M even if he hits the open market.
If his price gets that high, let him go.

Wonder what Osweiler's going to get? Probably in the same ballpark And if that's the case, I'd take Osweiler over Fitz. Brock still has a shitload of potential. Fitz is what he is. |

If it costs the same for Brock as Fitz, gotta take Brock (supposing the Broncos don't break the bank for him which is totally possible given their situation). |
