Jets | No talks between Jets, Ryan Fitzpatrick
The last time free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and the New York Jets had any meaningful talks was ‘weeks ago,’ according to one source.
Footballguys View: As we thought. At this point, there’s not going to be movement, as the Jets are firmly set in moving on. They certainly aren’t going to add more to their offer.
Cowboys | Jaylon Smith familiar with team doc
Dallas Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith (knee), selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, had knee surgery one week after the Fiesta Bowl. The team’s physician, Dr. Dan Cooper, performed the operation.

Saints | Vonn Bell drafted by Saints
The New Orleans Saints selected Ohio State SS Vonn Bell with the No. 61 overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft on Friday, April 29.

Jets | Christian Hackenberg’s footwork improving
New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg’s footwork was much better in private workouts after he worked with quarterback coach Jordan Palmer, according to sources.

Buccaneers | Roberto Aguayo first kicker off the board
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Florida State PK Roberto Aguayo with the No. 59 overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft on Friday, April 29.
Footballguys View: The Bucs not only drafted a kicker in the second round, they traded up to do it. Let us repeat. They traded UP….to draft a KICKER. This is the weirdest draft ever.

Jets | Christian Hackenberg should sit first year
New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg is expected to sit and grow in his first season in the NFL. If free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) is re-signed, it could very well only be a one-year deal, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
