Buccaneers: Ryan Fitzpatrick ready to backup and mentor Jameis Winston

The beard is alive and well with the Buccaneers. Ryan Fitzpatrick has joined the team on a one year, $3 million deal (per Spotrac), bringing the “Fitzmagic” to Florida. I don’t know if that has the same level of importance to it as the Lebron announcement years ago, but the analogy is there anyway. Fitzpatrick’s move to Tampa Bay marks his seventh team in now a thirteen-year career. At 34 years old, he is the quintessential “journeyman” quarterback.

Now, despite his success in 2015, we know that he is not about to unseat Jameis Winston.
