The New York Jets will surrender a sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans in the trade for Ryan Fitzpatrick now that that quarterback has played in 70 percent of the Jets' plays this season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
When the Jets traded a conditional seventh-round pick to the Texans for Fitzpatrick in March, the agreement was that it would become a sixth-round pick if he reached that number, according to sources. And Fitzpatrick has now done that.
Coupling that with trade the brought them wide receiver Brandon Marshall for a fifth-round pick from the Bears, the Jets put together one of their most prolific passing tandems for a single season for the cost of a fifth- and a sixth-round pick.
