Anyone see the Bleacher Report story from yesterday. Fitz reportedly looking for $12MM plus incentives. I would not normally begrudge a guy for trying to get the best deal he can, but where does he think his money is coming from. Because of our cap situation, its got to come from his teammates. I wonder who Fitz would like the Jets to cut, or which of his teammates he would to ask to take a pay cut so he can get his $12MM. Doesn't sound like the team first guy he ws portrayed as last season. Link to the story/video is below (I could not get the vid to embed). bleacherreport.com/articles/2637941-insider-buzz-fitzpatrick-standing-strong-on-demands-believes-jets-will-give-inGENO PETTY HACK. Just go with it, Mac. We'll be better off.

we have a very tough schedule as it is - no point paying a lot for Fitz to finish 8-8 and no playoffs

Shoulda just signed Hoyer for cheap, and let him and Geno compete for the place-holder job in camp.
Fitz at that price is a no-go.

Fuck him
Throw Geno out there until the wheels fall off...if Hack is ready to go at some point later in the year throw him out there...if not let Geno showcase himself for a comp pick in 2018

I think many fans were happy with Fitz's performance and he built up a lot of good will. If he stubbornly holds out for top-of-the market starter money or retires rather than take $14-16 million over two years he will be reviled.

Not going anywhere with Fitz anyway, it would be the best thing that could happen to wake ownership up, oh wait he is awake, damn we're fucked, oh wait......
