Eight most depressing NFL free agent quarterbacks in 2017

3. Ryan Fitzpatrick, New York Jets

Due to the complexity of the Jets’ current quarterback situation, Fitzpatrick could be looking elsewhere for work. He unfortunately failed to deliver after the Jets re-signed him to a hefty $12 million, one-year deal in 2016. This was after a career-best 3,905 passing yards and 31 touchdowns the prior year.

The Jets currently house four quarterbacks and could easily depart with the eldest of the group. Fitz was a disaster at times and managed to get benched twice in 2016.

The veteran Harvard graduate is 34 years old and has had a rocky career. His poor 2016 campaign reminded all why he has bounced around between six teams in 12 years.

Now that Fitz appears to be one-and-done with the good stuff from 2015, his stock has dropped. The handy thing here is another needy team won’t have to pay nearly as much to sign him as a backup or potential starter.
