    I think Denver will offer him 9-11 a year now with the backlash of losing Brock. I'd love to have Figz back, but I don't want him for more than 2 years and for more than 18-20 in gurrenteed $. If that's the case he'd be dumb to not come back to NY with the system familiarity and success. The Revis contract is once again handcuffing this team from growing.

    The only reason Denver is even talking to Fitz' agents is to drive SF's asking price for Kaep down. They only even leaked the Fitz contact when they were close to a trade yesterday.

    Kaep wants to play in Cleveland so he doesn't have to follow Peyton winning a SB in Denver.

    I feel its all smoke screening.. I feel like Jets reached out to 9ers to pressure fitz to hurry and return, and to pressure denver to hurry up and make their move on Kaep, which would then back Fitz against the wall of my original post... take our 7-8M and start or take 3-4M as someones back up. I also feel Denver reaching out to Fitz to pressure the 9ers into giving them Kaep at their price.. not the 2nd round price tag they have on Kaep. Now with Cleveland-Kaep talks heating up... that could give us a problem. I'm sure then Denver would either turn back to fitz again or try to trade for someone else.. big chess game between 4 teams.. i like our stance though.

    I honestly think we'll have him signed by Monday.

    Rams and Browns, according to reports, are out of the running due to the money. Denver seems to be looking to seal the deal to trade for Kaepernick.

    Fitz would be smart to lower his price and stay here. Stick with a team you have experience with.

    Every report is saying the jets won't leave their price.

    Pay a backup caliber QB backup money.

    Yet you are pissing and whining and moaning (and trolling) because you want the Jets to give up a top-tier DE for a backup QB that's making almost $12 mil?

    gotcha.

    Fitz's bargaining leverage is drying up. You're 33 and have never won anything. You had your best season as a pro last year and folded like a lawn chair when it mattered most. You're a journeyman, decent QB with a couple of years left - You are not a franchise QB. Sign the deal.

    feels like a lot of posters are trying to convince themselves that Fitz sucks.

    i can understand not wanting to pay 15M per, but let's not pretend he wouldn't make a big difference on this team.

    The only thing that's pathetic is the 31 TD's was the most in franchise history and the only time any Jet QB threw 30+

    Bottom ten? I can name fifteen worse easily assuming we're talking about last year's production. In general Fitz is still not a bottom ten QB, there's a lot of hot trash playing QB in this league.
