But, if you're R. Fitzpatrick and you're sitting there with the year you just had, why would you think you shouldn't be able to get as much as Assweiler?
he is worth the price of a good razor n shaving cream for that ugly beard..
no reason to sign him.. he is what he is, an INT machine when it comes down to winning time
just throw the dice at some young guy, you GM's get paid for a reason, draft someone
There should be a mediocre starter QB salary range of about 8-12 million, and that's where guys like Fitz, a fringe NFL starter, should fall. Unfortunately when you have teams badly overpaying for guys like Ossweiler, Cousins, Bradford, Alex Smith, then similar, or better guys like Fitz want that also. The J-E-T-S were wise to try and hold the line. Ultimately I think they'll cave.
All of these average guys getting crazy money does not bold well for the Colts... They will end up paying Luck somewhere around 25-30 M a year. You get average starters that are making 15 M a year.
