Free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) and the New York Jets do not have a ‘drop-dead deadline’ to get a deal done, according to head coach Todd Bowles. It was reported Monday, June 13, that there had been no progress in contract talks with Fitzpatrick.

Footballguys View: The Jets are slow-playing this Fitzpatrick situation. He’s gone from scoffing at their offer to being interested in any sort of deal they give him. The team is ready to move forward with Geno Smith as their likely starter while rookie Christian Hackenberg is seen as the developmental QB.
