Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 maybe Rams, or Broncos if they can't swing trade for Kap. But I don't see a huge market for him. Not as a starter, certainly. Anyone know when Foles $6MM roster bonus is due for the Rams?
ALF Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 2016 Roster Bonus: $6M (3/16, guaranteed) http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/nick-foles/
BuffaloBill Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 In a very unreal turn of events it is very possible that Fitzy could end up on the Broncos team. How unbelievable would it be if he adds a super bowl ring to his career on the back of that defense? Talk about a crime...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Someone will pay Fitz. Without decent QB play, Jets/Broncos/Rams are going nowhere. He's head-and-shoulders better than anyone available. Do the Jets win more than 4 games with Geno last year?
Dorkington Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Geno has definitely shown flashes... depends on how well he takes to Chan's system.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Someone will pay Fitz. Without decent QB play, Jets/Broncos/Rams are going nowhere. He's head-and-shoulders better than anyone available. Do the Jets win more than 4 games with Geno last year? Well, they won 8 with him in 2013 I could be wrong, but per OvertheCap, the Rams actually have $6M guaranteed tied up in Foles this year - his roster bonus is guaranteed whether or not they keep him? giving them a $8M dead money cap hit if they were to part ways. On the one hand, they have a huge amount of cap space having dumped Cook, Long, and Lauranitis. So they could keep Foles, but add Fitz and let them fight it out, and even add a rookie. On the other hand, having gutted a bunch of players off the D, they may not want to be going anywhere. They may look at themselves as in rebuilding mode, in which case they are better off with a worse record next year so they draft higher. I suppose it depends upon what they really think of Foles and for that matter, what Fisher's timeline is with the team. Edited March 10, 2016 by Hopeful
Observer Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Geno has definitely shown flashes... depends on how well he takes to Chan's system. He completed 5 passes to Bills in a half. I am all for Geno-ball.
YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 @Albertbreer As for the Jets, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick knows where they stand. Their offer is a little better than what Chase Daniel got in Philly.
YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 @rapsheet If #Jets don't land Colin Kaepernick, expect them to inquire about #Texans QB Brian Hoyer. They already traded for one #Texans QB last year
Steve Billieve Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 fitzy might overplay his hand in a hurry i say the JETS are his only chance at a starting gig I don't know, I think he's better than a number of QBs who will be starting next year.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @MMehtaNYDN A closer look at why the Jets are right to not overpay for Ryan Fitzpatrick.. #nyj http://nydn.us/1RDJCwS
KD in CA Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I don't know, I think he's better than a number of QBs who will be starting next year. I'd say he's on par with a number of other low end starters and high end backups, but then the question because potential and money. No one is going to pay 33 year old noodle-arm Fitz like a highly regarded vet or like a young star with upside. IMO a journeymen like Hoyer would probably do just as well with the Jets offensive talent as did Fitz. The article above nails it -- there's really no other place for him to go as a starter. Elway is going to refuse to pay Osweiler $16+ a year but give Fitz that kind of money? The Browns new group is going to pay Fitz two or three times what they would have to pay another FA vet to break in their new rookie QB? I just don't see it.
YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 A bidding war over Fitz. What a time to be alive.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Report: Fitzy to hit the market overthrows market, game-ending INT.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @JoeBanner13 The perception of Ryan Fitzpatrick and his performance are getting farther apart. Limited guy in a great scheme last year
KD in CA Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 A bidding war over Fitz. What a time to be alive. Probably closer to a Dutch auction.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) @Albertbreer As for the Jets, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick knows where they stand. Their offer is a little better than what Chase Daniel got in Philly. So reportedly, Daniel's offer was $21M over 3 years, $12M guaranteed. $3M in roster bonus and $3M in signing bonus this year, plus $1M guaranteed salary this year and $5M next year. I think a bit more than that is probably a good offer for Fitz. It pays him like what he is - a high class backup, he's definitely shown more than Daniel (that's a two edge sword as others have pointed out: more good, and more bad). If the Jets are thinking about trading for Hoyer, they really ought to think about upping their offer to Fitz a bit first. Fitz > Hoyer. I can't blame Fitz for wanting to be paid like a lower-tier starter, but then a lot of these contracts that average more $$ (like Foles) pile it on in the last year. And it's a point too that players like Dalton have done something Fitz hasn't - gone to playoffs. That would actually be a good strategy for the Jets - offer Fitz a bit more than Daniel with performance incentives the 1st 2 years, and a big payoff but no dead money the 3rd year.

BuffaloBill Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Fits only had limited success in one system with one coach. He will be back to the Jets.
