Ryan Fitzpatrick

[oldunclemark]

...contract voided by the Jets on Friday...I believe he's now an unrestricted free agent

he was so awesome in 2016 (I believe he led the NFL in interceptions) that no one speaks of him as potentially their 'answer'

 

But some body like the Raiders or Denver don't even want him as a backup?

He was worst this past season than Tolzien was in one start not an upgrade at the backup position.

I'm guessing he retires

He could retire (I think he's 34) but isn't he better than Tom Savage and my man Brock Osweiler?

If he wants to back up Luck, I'd be fine with him.

Maybe but this past season he was just as bad as those two.

If he would consider that, I think the Colts might.....

Stats don't say everything, but he threw 1 more int and 3 less touchdowns than Brock. Oswildo also threw 200 more yards (2957) and had a higher passer rating (72.2 vs 69.6). Fitzpatrick had a pretty rough year.

Its close..but Brock had a better team around him..Fitz lost Eric Decker early and Brandon Marshall is Brandon Marshall..

..and Fitzpatrick has had a career.......he was 10-6 with the jets in 2015.

If you had to choose between Fitzpatrick and Osweiler....I think we'd have to go with Fitz

If those are your options,  you have big problems.  Osweiler is young,  He could get better I guess

At this point, his value as a starter has eroded. But to stick it to the Jets, if NE trades away Jimmy G for at least a 2nd rounder, I am certain they'd pursue him for the backup role.

I guess that's what I'm saying..

Osweiler has to get better ,,,,Fitzpatick simply has to regain his past form

[Chucklez]

Fitz can make too much money as a backup QB in this league to retire at 34.... I certainly wouldnt retire if I were him. Why not squeeze out a few more million $ before you quit it?

He plays pretty good coming off the bench. 1 or 2 games anyway 

[BloodyChamp]

What exactly does "voided" mean in NFL contract language? Didn't he hold out and get it? Now it's "voided"?

But he went to Harvard!
