NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The stalemate is finally over as Ryan Fitzpatrick has reportedly agreed to a deal with the New York Jets.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the two sides have agreed to a one-year, $12 million contract.
Fitzpatrick guided the Jets to a 10-6 record last season, throwing for 3,905 yards and 31 touchdowns.
According to the New York Daily News, the Jets previously submitted several offers to Fitzpatrick in the hope of getting him signed in time to join his teammates in Florham Park, New Jersey.
On Wednesday, running back Matt Forte said he was told by the team to not talk about Fitzpatrick.
