Overview

  • Converting part of his salary into a bonus freed up $11 million in cap space for the 2025 season.
  • Fitzpatrick remains under contract through 2026 and is negotiating a multi-year extension with agent Drew Rosenhaus.
  • He has been a full participant in training camp and recorded an interception at the first practice open to fans.
