The Jets have multiple offers on the table to Ryan Fitzpatrick, but the standoff with the veteran quarterback continues just one day before the start of training camp.
A league source confirmed Monday that Fitzpatrick has a variety of offers from the Jets to consider but said the proposals are not new.
The Jets’ most substantial offer to Fitzpatrick remains the one they made several weeks ago — a three-year, $24 million proposal that could reach $36 million with incentives, with $12 million guaranteed the first year.
Fitzpatrick — who set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes last season — hasn’t liked any of the offers, leaving the sides at a stalemate that is on the verge of dragging into training camp.
Fitzpatrick, who declined comment on the standoff when approached at a celebrity golf tournament last week in Lake Tahoe, recently gave up the lease to the mansion near the Jets’ practice facility he was renting for him and his family.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall, a close friend of Fitzpatrick’s, also said the quarterback had been ignoring his text messages and phone calls over the past two weeks. But on Monday night, the receiver posted a picture to his Instagram of him spending time with Fitzpatrick and the quarterback’s children on a Chicago rooftop.
