CHATHAM -- With the Jets preparing to report to training camp next Wednesday, free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's house in this posh Morris County suburb is available for rent.

It is unclear why Fitzpatrick decided to not renew his lease. It doesn't neccesarily mean he won't re-sign with the Jets. But it is clear Fitzpatrick is moving, either elsewhere in northern New Jersey (if he returns to the Jets) or out of the area.

It is also possible that, given his current contract uncertainty, Fitzpatrick didn't want to commit to renewing his lease, because he couldn't be sure he'd even need to live in New Jersey any longer.

Fitzpatrick did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Fitzpatrick, a 33-year-old journeyman, has been locked in a contract stalemate with the Jets all offseason, after he successfully debuted with them last year.

Fitzpatrick and his family rented their home in Chatham. It has been a rental property for several years, according to Hilary Taylor, the house's listing agent. An online listing shows the house became available for rent July 15.

Taylor said she did not know the current tenant's identity, but property records show that Fitzpatrick and his wife, Liza, resided there.

Taylor said the current tenant has not yet moved out.

When an NJ Advance Media reporter visited the home Tuesday, a "for rent" sign was in the front yard, Fitzpatrick's pickup truck (with a Jets parking pass on the rearview mirror) was in the driveway, and the home itself appeared occupied.

Nobody answered when a reporter knocked on the door Tuesday.

On Monday, former NFL quarterback Mark Malone said on his NBC Sports Radio show that he recently spotted Fitzpatrick playing golf in the Scottsdale, Ariz., area. Fitzpatrick grew up in Gilbert, Ariz., 18 miles from Scottsdale.

Fitzpatrick is scheduled to participate in a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe that officially runs from Tuesday through Sunday.

Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who is close with Fitzpatrick, expressed concern Saturday that Fitzpatrick had not returned his recent text messages.

Want to live in Fitzpatrick's old pad? The house's monthly rental cost is $9,500, which gets you eight bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, two partial bathrooms, and a three-car garage. The house, which sits on two-thirds of an acre, totals 7,200 square feet. It has 14 total rooms and four fireplaces, but doesn't come furnished.

Last season, Fitzpatrick spoke about how much he and his family, which includes five young kids, enjoyed living in the Chatham/Madison area.

The Jets have offered Fitzpatrick a three-year, $24 million contract that includes $15 million in guaranteed pay and $12 million in 2016. The Jets initially made that offer in March. Fitzpatrick has declined to sign it.

The Jets have said they'd ideally like to have Fitzpatrick re-signed by the start of training camp, but coach Todd Bowles also said there is no drop-dead deadline for the re-signing. Bowles left open the possibility that the Fitzpatrick stalemate could continue for the first week or two of camp.
