Pay the man! Seriously everyone keeps saying how this was his career year, but he had better numbers the previous year in Houston before he got hurt.

Bite off his fucking cheeks and lips that cocksucker for that buffalo meltdown. I'll hit him with a molotov cocktail mid throw I see him on the field

Pay the man! Seriously everyone keeps saying how this was his career year, but he had better numbers the previous year in Houston before he got hurt. They keep looking at his TD numbers, and ignoring the rest. Which in fairness, were Jets-record setting TD numbers.... saying more about our history than Fitz' performance. Other than number of TDs, statistically it was a bottom of the barrel performance last year.

The stupidity of so many people is really starting to bother me when it comes to this issue. Why do so many people (mostly non-Jets fans) think it's a terrible injustice that we don't pay Fitz $15 million or so, based on what all the other starting QBs in the league are making?
I wish some of these people would explain to me why the Jets should bid against themselves. There's a free-market system in place. The Jets' offer is currently the highest (and also the only) offer on the table.
Now, if, say, Denver were to offer Fitz $10 million per year on a two- or three-year deal, then we'd have a decision to make. We'd have to shit or get off the pot. Until that happens, though, why would we bid against ourselves? Because we should feel sorry for Fitz that he's not getting Sam Bradford money?
Maybe a one-year deal is the answer. If we've supposedly offered something like $21 for three years, maybe we should instead offer him $8 million or so for one year. Then he'd be able to hit free agency again next year, which could be tantalizing for him since it would, in theory, give him another chance to "cash in." I think we all know he's never going to get $15 million per year at any point for the rest of his career, but a one-year contract could at least give him the opportunity to pursue that goal again next offseason.
Hopefully, by the start of the 2017 season, Hackenberg would be ready to take over the Jets' starting job and we could let Fitz go to the highest bidder in free agency. In the meantime, he'd be the bridge QB who could build on the chemistry he developed with his receivers last season, while also providing a good veteran example for Hackenberg in the quarterback room.

The most annoying aspect for me is this "going rate" for starting QB's nonsense, the going rate doesn't apply to Fitz because 31 other teams don't view him as a starter and there is no competition for his services No viable starter in this league would last one day on the open market nevermind sit there untouched for three months. If you went to the store everyday and there was a $1 carton of milk sat on the shelf on it's own day after day for three months that no one else wanted, would you offer $10 for it or leave it too curdle like the rotting piece of shit it is?

Dumbest shit ever. They are only pissed because they want us to make a dumb move so they can point and lol but we aren't doing it and it's upsetting them. Bunch of fucktards.

Shit, Fitz is so bad that a lot of teams have 2 QBs every GM in the league would prefer over Fitz. Heck, the Eagles have 3!

If this is true my Mac estimation will fall off a cliff.

If that number is true, I assume Mac basically gave him a glorified one year deal with no money guaranteed after year 1. And if Fitz holds out for more, I say let him try to sign elsewhere.
Personally, I wouldn't want us to give him that much, even on a one year deal.

If this is true and he won't take then he can go scratch. I guess that Harvard education isn't what it used to be, because he's a moron for thinking he can get more.

Fitz has done well if it is true he has been offered 12 million for this season, I can only hope only $6 mil or less has been guaranteed and the rest is incentive money.
