IMO, if the Jets do not sign Fitz, they go with Geno and see if a QB the like falls to them at the draft. Organizationally, it is the smart thing to do, and now, for the first time in a long time, the Jets are a smart organization. They will not waste money on a stop gap QB. If Fitz does not want to return on the Jets terms for his best chance at success in his long and non-illustrious career, he can go elsewhere. It will give the team a chance to make a final evaluation of Geno in a system that plays to his strengths. I expect that we re-sign Fitz. I agree with everything you are saying. The only difference of thought is I don't want to waste another year or handful of games on this staff evaluating Geno in games because I don't think he will end up being anything more that what Fitz was last season and honestly I think that isn't even attainable for Geno. I don't want to turn this into a discussion about Geno. This team is basically in a win now type of make up with older players and I think that is just part of what is concerning me a bit with this QB situation. This is why I think its going to end up being Fitz, but also why I am getting very anxious. If this is the case, I don't think they would be technically evaluating Geno. I think in this scenario, Geno is the stop gap until Petty or a rookie is ready.

At the very least, this should give the Jets a bit more leverage with Fitz.

www.tampabay.com/blogs/bucs/licht-bucs-weighing-trade-interest-in-qb-mike-glennon/2270185Licht: Bucs weighing trade interest in QB Mike Glennon
The quarterback carousel still is spinning in the NFL and several teams continue to show interest in trading for Bucs backup Mike Glennon, general manager Jason Licht confirmed at the NFL owners meeting Monday.
Glennon, who did not play a snap behind starter Jameis Winston last season, will become an unrestricted free agent next spring. Licht said trade discussions could continue until the NFL draft. "There's always interest. It's not a secret,'' Licht said. "There's always some interest. We'll see how it goes. We've got some time and this is something that could go all the way to the draft.''
The New York Jets, who have been unable to re-sign starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, reportedly have inquired about Glennon. But Licht refuted a claim by WFAN host Mike Francesa that the Bucs were demanding a No. 1 pick for Glennon.
"That's not true,'' Licht said. "I mean, I tell them what I think he's worth. I tell that to teams. I say, "this is what we might consider.' But that's not necessarily true. I don't want to discuss that. I don't want to go public with that.
"It's false that I've been calling every team saying I need a first (round pick). I haven't been calling every team. Even with those that have inquired, it's been 'Let's keep talking.' It hasn't been, "we need this.'
Licht said the Bucs also would be content with keeping Glennon on the roster to backup Winston. The Bucs also have third string quarterback Ryan Griffin, who they claimed off waivers from New Orleans last year. If Glennon left following 2016, the Bucs likely would receive a fourth or fifth-round compensatory pick. "Right now, we're happy (Glennon) is on our roster,'' Licht said. "I feel very good about the fact we have two good young quarterbacks.'' [Last modified: Monday, March 21, 2016 1:37pm]

Throw enough shit against the wall and something has to stick. Tell that to John Idzik.

The logic that if one GM gives out a bad deal they all should just to be fair is asinine. Besides there is a huge difference between the potential of Osweiler and the absence of potential with Fitz.

the trade is for a conditional 7th. I assume Denver is still working towards a Kaep deal with SFO. Sanchez is insurance and will likely be a back-up. Ultimately, there is a strong possibility that the Iggles may get nothing from this trade. Denver really didn't even have a qualified back up. I don't believe for one minute that Elway wants to start Mark Sanchez. Sounds like if Kap is willing to rework his deal, he could be heading to CLE bringing Sanchez one step closer to being the Broncos starter.

From rotoworld world: NFL Network's Mike Silver reported Friday the 49ers and Browns "are in general agreement" about trade compensation, but the talks between Cleveland and Kaepernick's reps have not progressed far enough to "green-light" the trade. Kaepernick reportedly wants to play for Browns coach Hue Jackson, and it appears he can get his wish by agreeing to a pay cut. As one of the likeliest landing spots for the top quarterbacks in the draft, Cleveland acquiring Kaepernick would have significant ramifications at the top of the first round. www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/03/browns_willing_to_give_up_3rd.htmlGood thing the Broncos grabbed Sanchez. Elways gonna be left in the wind again.

I'd say RG3. If no Fitz, I would sign him and assume he beats out Geno in camp for the gig. I would like Petty to sit for one more year, and then hopefully he'll be ready if RG3 is anything less than spectacular in '16.

hmmm A few thoughts... 1. Is this a smokescreen to push Fitz? 2. Was there truth to the rumor a few months ago that Kap wanted to come to the Jets? 3. If this is legit interest then I'd guess Chan is in agreement and wants him...how would he fit in this offense? 4. What would a trade look like -- Mo for Kap and the 49ers 2nd rounder? And, is that how we afford him...by moving Mo?Is it absurd to try and swap firsts with the 49ers while trading Mo for Kap? What would the additional compensation look like?

Wouldn't we better off just signing RG3 and saving the picks if we're looking at Kap. Edit: (and save a shit ton of money too)

I'm not buying that the Bronco's are that desperate that they want to sign Fitz. Would you believe they're desperate enough to sign RG3?
