NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Jets have made an offer that Ryan Fitzpatrick – so far – has refused.
A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday night that the Jets made a three-year offer to the quarterback in March that includes $12 million guaranteed in the first year.
That has remained on the table for Fitzpatrick, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because neither side is commenting publicly on the negotiations.
The New York Post first reported the terms of the offer, which is higher than the previously reported amounts that were closer to $7 million per year. However, total guarantees and contract structure of the Jets’ standing offer are uncertain.
Jimmy Sexton, Fitzpatrick’s agent, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
