Jets | No recent Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jets talks

Free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) hasn’t had recent talks with the New York Jets. The two sides remain far apart, and a resolution isn’t expected soon.

Footballguys View: This contradicts other reports saying things are going to close in the near future. We’re quite frankly sick of the drama surrounding the league’s lowest level of acceptable starting QB. That’s what Fitzpatrick is…but he’s the best option for the Jets in 2016. Christian Hackenberg is likely to be the team’s QB of the future.

Panthers | Kawann Short reports to camp

Carolina Panthers DT Kawann Short reported to training camp Wednesday, July 27, despite a contract dispute.

Footballguys View: Short was at the facility for mandatory minicamp earlier this offseason, so it makes sense that he would also show up when training camp starts. He wants a new long-term deal that could make him one of the highest-paid DTs in the league. The Panthers don’t seem willing to do that right now, so we could see the franchise tag used on Short next offseason.
