  • Some names who could fit the Jets, according to Cimini, are Ohio State’s Taylor Decker and Texas A&M’s Germain Ifedi.
  • In regards to possibly re-signing QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cimini says that their offer to Fitz isn’t based on their available cap space and is actually higher than the $7 million-to-$8 million per year that has been reported.
