FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — He has yet to step onto the field at 1 Jets Drive this offseason, but Ryan Fitzpatrick remains the center of attention.
Even the whereabouts of Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Nick Mangold — three key offensive pieces who were absent during the first two days organized team activities — became entangled in the Fitzpatrick fodder.
On Wednesday, coach Todd Bowles was asked if all three veterans had skipped OTAs in a sign of solidarity for Fitzpatrick, who currently is in a stalemate with the organization over a new contract.
“I don’t think so, but you’d probably have to ask them that,” Bowles said, adding that all three veterans have shown up at the facility.
