The Ryan Fitzpatrick saga is over.

The journeyman quarterback agreed on a one-year, $12 million deal with the Jets, The Post’s Brian Costello confirmed, in a fully guaranteed contract.

The Jets had been offering $12 million for the first season, but as part of a $24 million deal with non-guaranteed money for a second and third season. Fitzpatrick had balked at the later years and now can be a free agent again next offseason.

The Jets began training camp on Wednesday and had ordered the players to defer all questions to their head coach. Now the stand-off is over and the Jets can proceed without a distraction hovering above their heads.
