For most of the 2016 offseason, the have been locked in a stalemate in their discu sions with free agent quarterback , a career journeyman who is coming off the best season of that career, one in which he completed 59.6 percent of his pa ses for 3,905 yards, 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Because the performance was wildly out of line with the rest  Connor Murphy Jersey of his career and Fitzpatrick apparently wants to be paid based on his 2015 play while the Jets want to pay him as though last year was an outlier, the QB remains unsigned.Several members of the Jets organization, , head coach Todd Bowles, GM Mike Maccagnan, and even , have publicly stated that they want Fitzpatrick to return to the team. Fitzpatrick himself has also that his preference is Dominik Kahun Jersey  to return.Now, yet another member of the Jets has added his name to the chorus: running back ."I'd be disappointed (if I don't) get to work with him (given that he was here) last year and the good job he did," Forte said on . "But at the same time, you have to prepare yourself for the worst if that doesn't happen."  Forte also noted that he has paid close attention to Fitzpatrick's contract negotiations because he feels the QB is that important to the team's succe s."I've paid attention to it, but Brandon has been in talks with him too, just trying to see where his head's at," Forte said. "As a player, I know how the negotiation Jordan Oesterle Jersey  part goes. When I got franchised, we had to negotiate the entire offseason until the deadline. I know he wasn't franchised, but he's able to negotiate. He should do his best and take his time where he can get as much as he wants to get. So he still has time left for him to sign and be with us."I hope he does sign and come back so that we can continue to hold off the momentum from last year that him and Brandon and Eric and all the  Brandon Manning Jersey receivers and the offense had last year. We can take a step in the right direction in that aspect, continuing on with that momentum that they had last year. It's not all said and done David Kampf Jersey  yet, so we're still waiting."It sure is nice that Fitzpatrick has all these Jets in his corner. I'm sure it feels great for him. Unle s he lowers his asking price, though, or the Jets raise the price they're willing to pay, it's tough to see this situation resolving itself any time soon.
