ESPN - Rich Cimini - Todd Bowles says Jets will be fine if Ryan Fitzpatrick signs elsewhere

On yesterday's episode of "The Jets and the Fitzless" Coach Bowles spoke calmly, down in Boca Raton, on Gang Green's contingency plans if our favorite Harvard grad decides to sign with another team....."You want everything to work out fine, but if it doesn't work out fine you better have Plans B, C and D. And you still have to win with those plans."

Coach Bowles didn't divulge into the specifics of "Plans B, C and D", but through my sawces, I was able to gather the information he withheld...

Plan B: Bryce Petty...

The 2015 4th round pick could find himself going from third stringer to the driver's seat if Fitzpatrick is wearing a different jersey next season. I can't guarantee that the 24 year old Petty is ready to rock and roll under center just yet, but I can gauran-damn-tee that he will be getting some rock star type ass in NYC if he's the starter for the 2016 season. Can't hate that for a young buck from Texas who used to post the above photos on myspace.  

Plan C: Boomer Esiason...

The southpaw recently joked on his hit morning radio/tv show that he might be able to help fill the void for a cool 10 mill. It looks like what started out as a light joke by the Booms is turning into a realistic backup plan to the backup plan for Coach Todd and the Jets. The former Terp might be a little past his playing prime but the needed leadership that he'll bring to the locker room will be the closest to the leadership that Fitzpatrick provided last season.

Plan D: Johnny Manziel (accompanied by Bianca Ghezzi..hopefully)...

When concocting the plans for life without Fitzpatrick, apparently once it got to Plan D it was time for Woody to take over the concocting from Mikey Mac and Coach Bowles. Desperate as ever to fix this he did what he knows how to do best. Nobody wants to get to Plan D, and even though Bowles said we need to be prepared to win with any of the plans, Woody feels it's better to turn his attention to winning the back page. If B and C don't work, Woody's turning to Drew Rosenhaus' new client Johnny Football. 

Woody was smart enough to at least put a caveat on Plan D. If Johnny is guilty of what he's alleged to have done to his ex-girlfriend, then Woody says he is (rightfully so) out of the plans, and Plan D will be changed to...

Alternative Plan D: Geno Smith...
