The New York Jets would like to re-sign Ryan Fitzpatrick and are attempting to find a common ground on a contract.

"We like Ryan -- we'd like to have Ryan back -- but at the end of the day, it's free agency," Mike Maccagnan told reporters on a conference call. "You go through it. At some point in time, hopefully, we can find a middle ground we're both happy with."

The Jets have offered Fitzpatrick between $7 million and $8 million per year.
