Ryan Fitzpatrick is still a free agent - and the New York Jets'
Jack Youngblood Jersey quarterback situation could remain in limbo for a while longer.
Re-signing Fitzpatrick remains a priority for the Jets, although general manager Mike Maccagnan acknowledged that there's not necessarily a hard deadline for the team to have the quarterback back on the roster.
''We like Ryan very much and we feel we have a very good situation for Ryan here,'' Maccagnan said at the

''He's a very good fit for us, too. So hopefully at some point in time we can work out some kind of an agreement on a contract.''
Fitzpatrick and the Jets remained in a contract stalemate Friday, six days before

''Our focus is Ryan, but again, he's a free agent,'' Maccagnan said. ''You never know what happens in free agency.''
Maccagnan, taking a calm and cool approach, said the situation with Fitzpatrick ''will work itself out,'' but also acknowledged it could ''take some time.''
Either way, Maccagnan suggested that Geno Smith and Bryce
Andre Brown Black JerseyPetty could see increased snaps when organized team activities begin next month - if Fitzpatrick still isn't back.
''No, I don't feel any pressure to have (a quarterback) by a specified time,'' Maccagnan said.
He said a

Maccagnan also said that Fitzpatrick's situation wouldn't preclude the Jets from selecting a quarterback in the first round. He also confirmed that the Jets ''inquired'' about obtaining the No. 1 overall pick from Tennessee before the Titans traded it to the Los Angeles Rams.
