MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said Friday he wants to return for a 16th season.
Coach Brian Flores said last week he expected Fitzpatrick to return.
Fitzpatrick started the final 12 games last season for the 5-11 Dolphins. Fitzpatrick, a 15-year veteran, ended the season saying he was undecided about whether to retire.
“I want to keep playing,” Fitzpatrick told the Dolphins’ flagship radio station, WQAM, at the Super Bowl media center. “Physically you have to re-evaluate everything. and mentally and emotionally. It didn’t take very long for me to know, with the season we had and how much fun I had out there.
