Eric Decker wasn’t joking when he said on a conference call he keeps in close contact with Jets free-agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

In fact, Decker isn’t the only one.

On Tuesday, Decker, Fitzpatrick, center Nick Mangold and backup quarterback Bryce Petty were spotted on an NJ Transit train en route to New York. Their final destination? The Rangers playoff matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden.

While Fitzpatrick’s name, or rather his contract situation, has been a hot topic of conversation ever since the 2015 season came to a close, it hasn’t stopped the Jets record-breaking signal caller from being out and about on the town.

Fitzpatrick was a guest on the “Rachael Ray Show” with his wife, joined ex-Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara on the “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” and even made an appearance at the “Mike and the Mad Dog Reunion Show.”

Now, while Fitzpatrick is certainly having fun traveling about, many associated with the Jets wished he’d take just one trip– that being to the office of GM Mike Maccagnan to sign a new contract.

That, at least to this point, doesn’t appear to be on the offseason itinerary, though.
