How is Fitzy still a free agent?

[Dan Darragh]

Maybe the Bills front office saw something that we didn't about fan-fave Fitzmagic.

 

What's your take?  Where does he land?

 

 

[Freddie's Dead]

At this point, I would guess it has to be medical.  I did a search and didn't see any updates.  Hope Fitzy's doing OK with rehab.

[Bangarang]

Clearly every other front office saw the same thing ours did.
 

The guy is also going to be 40 this year. 

[947]

He's 39 & coming off a very major injury. Teams aren't exactly lining up for that.

 

I'm not sure if he'd even be able to play again, let alone want to. If he does, he'll probably be a mid-season signing to a team with an injury at QB.

I would guess either 1) he doesn’t intend to play or is still injured and isn’t ready to play or 2) He’s willing to play, but not at less than say $10M a year for any team that might try to pull the “back-up with a chance to start” crap.  I wouldn’t take back-up money when I know damn well I’m going to end up being the starter.  
 

If he was ready to play and do so at a reasonable price, I believe he would have been a Bill, but I don’t think he was going to accept what Keenum did.

[DJB]

I mean he has played for every NFL team. 

 

Maybe he is just tired

[TheBeaneBandit]

He didn't check himself before he wrecked himself. Hes a broken man....literally. Still love the dude

[Dablitzkrieg]

He's done.  He's old, that's why

[17islongenough]

Because no one has signed him

[Big Turk]

Uh, he is almost 40 and coming off a really bad hip injury? 

[WhoTom]

Because the rest of the league knows he's a Bills fan at heart.

"He'd make a great Quarterbacks Coach," in 3 ... 2 ...

There's a tradition in pro wrestling where the biggest stars—at the end of their career—go out on their back. I know this isn't pro wrestling, but Fitzmagic is about the closest thing the NFL has had to a pro wrestler... well, aside from that time Brock Lesner was kind of in the NFL. Anyway, Fitz should end his career on his back, preferably after being body slammed through a table. 

[aristocrat]

The rumor after the injury was that he hurt himself at a waterpark with his kids over last summer and then the hit in the game just wrecked it. And he didn't tell the team about the original injury.  Again, rumors.

He is a backup who will keep your team out of the playoffs and also won't get them a very high draft pick.

[shane nelson]

GM's saw the pictures of him and his gut from the playoff game.  Maybe a little too much Buffalo love   

[1ManRaid]

He's waiting for Keenum to slip on a bath mat so he can come end his career with his true team as our backup.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I’m sure some network will pay him to talk football. I think he’ll do very well at that.

He is broken, that and he is old, and he doesn’t give the impression that he is a Tommy boy peds sort of guy,

This would be my guess unless he's leaning toward retirement and has already communicated that to any prospective suitors.
