WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAMRyan Fitzpatrick Reportedly Agrees to WFT Contract After 2 Years with DolphinsTIM DANIELSMARCH 15, 20210

The Washington Football Team and journeyman quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick reportedly reached an agreement Monday on a one-year deal.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, noting it is worth $10 million but could grow to $12 million with incentives. Schefter also noted the expectation is that Fitzpatrick will start with Taylor Heinicke providing competition.

Fitzpatrick put together a solid 2020 season for the Miami Dolphins. He completed 68.5 percent of his throws for 2,091 yards, 13 touchdowns, eight interceptions and a 95.6 passer rating across nine games (seven starts). He ranked fifth in ESPN's Total QBR (76.9).

Although Miami opted to make a switch to rookie Tua Tagovailoa coming out its Week 7 bye, the 38-year-old Harvard product still made appearances during the season's second half, both because of Tagovailoa's thumb injury and because, on a few occasions, the team was looking for a spark.

Most notably, Fitzpatrick entered a Week 16 game with the Dolphins trailing the Las Vegas Raiders 16-13 in the fourth quarter. He guided them to 13 points over the game's final four minutes to pick up the win, but the team ultimately fell short of the playoffs despite a 10-6 record.

The Arizona native has also played for the St. Louis Rams, Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers during a 16-year career that started as a seventh-round pick in the 2005 NFL draft.

None of his teams have ever qualified for the playoffs, however, and he's never made the Pro Bowl despite some strong individual seasons.

In February, Fitzpatrick told Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated he hoped to continue his career in 2021.

"I still really enjoy playing the game," he said. "It's a little bit more difficult now in terms of my family situation and all of that, but yes, I enjoy playing and I want to keep playing. I'm thankful that my family is very supportive of that."

"Fitz Magic" will make the latest stop of his career with the Football Team, where he'll likely provide veteran leadership while starting during the 2021 season.

It's unclear how much longer he'll keep playing, but he's written a unique story with plenty of memorable moments, and he'll hope that continues in Washington.

We are spinning the tires on this one....are we trying to lose? How does he help our team? We need a vet WR and that's NOT an option but our 1st FA signed is a 38 year old loser. ''Ron's plan'' better work.

 

[kbso83432]

I like it better than trading a 2 for Darnold or signing Mariota. I said last week he was intriguing.

 

[countryroads316]

He is washed up the Washington Football Team officially has the worst QB situation in the NFL

 

[RaZon]

Not a fan of this deal. on the....does it make sense chart, it is....nope!!!!

 

[countryroads316]

Get ready for a 4-12 or 5-11 season not looking good

 

[chillerdab]

Booooo.

Fitzpatrick is a wasted $10 million. Could’ve should’ve used that money to keep KPL and Darby

 

[kbso83432]

Fitz is not perfect but he puts up big numbers on any given Sunday. Could help us in the WR free agent market. I understand and am fully aware that he is gonna break our hearts next year, probably on more than one occasion, but our draft is intact and he's gonna sling it.

 

[skinz2winz]

What exactly are we doing here? Lol.

 

[skinz2winz]

Would have rather spent $10m on a LB like Bud Dupree.

 

[countryroads316]

It's a crap move with a washed up player and Washington will still be in search of a QB in 2022

 

[MHSL82]

that was a short lived retirement.......

Leverage. You have to pay me $10 million to come back. If he didn’t retire, they’d offer him $4 million. Just kidding.

 

[kbso83432]

Please don't take the title of this thread as me doing cartwheels. I was being funny. I do think he has the capability to completely open up the offense.

Who did you guys want?

 

[kbso83432]

This guy's post pretty much sums up where I'm at.

To build for the future, that's all.

 

[kbso83432]

Oh we still have to do that. I wanted Stafford.

Stafford would have looked good in B & G.
