The Jets could certainly use Ryan Fitzpatrick but Fitzpatrick needs the Jets
Jets GM Mike Maccagnan is slow playing the hell out of his hand and he can do so because Ryan Fitzpatrick and his agent already overplayed theirs. Yes, Fitzpatrick had the best statistical season of any Jets quarterback ever last year but at 33-years-old can anyone really expect the journeyman quarterback to repeat the best performance of his career?
Fitzpatrick wants to get paid like Sam Bradford and Brock Osweiler just did and on one hand you can't really blame him because he is better at quarterbacking than either of those two are but on the other hand you certainly can't blame the Jets for not wanting to pay him.
