The alarm goes off. It’s 6am. Ryan Fitzpatrick groans, hits the off button, and gets up. In the shower he goes over the upcoming meetings in his head. He knows his worth to the Jets. He almost took them to the playoffs. He has a right to a large contract. After all, do they really want to deal with Geno? Yes, they are short on cash, but that just means that it can be a long term deal instead of a front heavy one. Something to ensure the rest of his career is financially secure. He can still play for a while. He hasn’t taken the beating that many other players have, not yet. Plus, he’s a Harvard grad, he has many more brain cells that have to die for him to become a vegetable. The meeting does not go well. Neither side will budge. The Jets are pushing the possibility of Geno starting. They need to sign their defensive stars. This is Fitz’s last great chance to nail a big contract. Maybe things will go better tomorrow.
