“Jets management is engaged in a delicate balancing act — managing a win-now roster while simultaneously beginning the transition to the future,” wrote Battista. “Fitzpatrick won’t be a part of that future. But the Jets won’t be a part of winning now without him.”
That summation encapsulates this contract battle with aplomb.
