Buffalo_Stampede Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I was listening to WFAN this morning and they were still verklempt over the Bills game, calling it a loss to a team of backups with nothing to play for and a "below average at best" QB. The statement on Taylor was a little surprising. Rex Ryan ruined their playoffs. It was a huge stomach punch. Not only that he beat them twice.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 I don't know how they afford Fitz even at a cap hit of $12 M. Even of they balance some of that with a signing bonus, I don't see it less than $8 M and they have $3.1 now. With the guaranteed money they have, they either restructure Wilkerson to almost no salary this year and just a signing bonus or you cut your starting center, RT or Decker.

The statement on Taylor was a little surprising. Boomer and Carton are youge Jests fans. Carton thinks Tebow is the most handsome man he's ever met, and Boomer gets enraged whenever anyone calls him Norman. That's all you need to know about those two.

They can't afford him at a cap hit of $12M. Probably not even $8M. Not without cutting players and restructuring some of the older ones, which they wouldn't be wise to do. Or they could extend Wilkerson, but they don't want to make him the highest paid player in the NFL.

This was actually Joe and Evan.

Or pay Wilkerson Suh type money.
TheFunPolice Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 If not for Rex's Bills the Jets would have been 12-4.
KD in CA Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 i agree, they are awful! This was actually Joe and Evan. If there's anything that makes me feel even worse after a bad Mets loss, it's listening to a few minutes of Joe and Evan the next day. Woo-hoo!
BaaadThingsMan Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 At this point Fitz can basically double his career earnings over the next 3 years if he plays well enough to start and maintains that level of play. It's time to sign or quit wasting the Jests time IMO. Or do keep wasting their time then sign and suck against the Bills for the next 3 years while maintaining just enough to get paid and remain the starter. That'll work.
YoloinOhio Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 Internal strife in June. Niceeee http://www.sbnation.com/2016/6/1/11834056/jets-brandon-marshall-eric-decker-otas-ryan-Fitzpatrick "Who knows what those guys were thinking?" one of their teammates said, requesting anonymity. "It was a voluntary workout, so it probably should be left at that. A lot of us want a lot of different things on this team, but the bottom line is players play and coaches coach and management manages. The less we hear from either one of those two (Decker and Marshall), the better."

vincec Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 No it isn't... In fact, I think people nationally probably rate him higher than is warranted by what he's shown on the field so far.

YoloinOhio Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 Report: Fitz ready to take 1-year deal from Jets http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/myers-qb-ryan-fitzpatrick-ready-1-year-deal-jets-article-1.2657865?utm_content=buffer63006&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=NYDNSports+Twitter
Doc Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I doubt they'd want to do that since they can't spread the $12M guaranteed out over 3 seasons.
CommonCents Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Silly Jets. Posturing like they have any other option but to resign Fitz. He played well for them last season, he gives them a chance. That is more than anyone can say for Geno, Petty, and Hack. Fitz played with torn ligaments in his thumb and had surgery mid season all the while he had a great statistical year. If he didn't get hurt on the first drive in Oakland maybe they don't mail that game in and they end up in the playoffs. I hope they mess this up and let Fitz walk that will make those two games a bit easier.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I actually think that a 1 year deal would be a mistake for the Jets. I have no confidence in Geno, Petty or Sackenberg though. The Jets should try to tie him up for 3 years with $25M guaranteed or something.
