Ryan Fitzpatrick

Fitzpatrick is clearly capable of being a solid backup in this league. The question is just whether or not he still wants to attempt at being a starter somewhere instead?
If that ends up being the case, then Minnesota should stay away from adding Fitzpatrick to the roster. The Vikings already have a starter in Bradford and the last thing the team needs is everyone calling to put in Fitzpatrick if Bradford has a bad game or two (or five).
Fitzpatrick is likely going to be one of the more expensive options for a backup this offseason as well and Minnesota is better off using that money on another position group on their roster which is more in need.
