Ryan Fitzpatrick is bringing his “FitzMagic” to Washington for the 2021 NFL season. According to multiple reports, the veteran quarterback agreed to a one-year deal with the Washington Football Team.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Fitzpatrick will receive $10 million this season while being able to earn an additional $2 million through incentives. Schefter adds that Washington views the 38-year-old veteran as their top choice for starting QB ahead of Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke.

Fitzpatrick spent the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He started 20 games, leading the franchise to a 9-11 record while throwing for 5,620 yards and 33 touchdowns.

While the Dolphins showed interest in bringing back Fitzpatrick for another year, he would almost certainly be a backup to last year’s No. 5 pick Tua Tagovailoa. Washington, on the other hand, offered him a clearer pathway to the starting role.

Washington is still on the lookout for their franchise quarterback, but the organization recognized the opportunity to compete in the NFC East even with a mid-tier starter like Ryan Fitzpatrick. They managed to win the divisional title in 2019 despite starting three different quarterbacks: Dwayne Haskins, Allen, and Alex Smith. They also put up great resistance to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs with Heinicke under center.

Ryan Fitzpatrick entered the NFL in 2005 and has since played for eight different organizations, including the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, and Buccaneers. He has 34,977 career passing yards, 10th among all active QBs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers will keep their backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick for one more year. The team has announced on Friday that they have resigned the 35-year-old to a 1-year deal.

Buccaneers signed Fitzpatrick last season, with the intention for him to be a backup and provide mentorship to their young quarterback Jameis Winston. He played in six games for the team, completing 96 of 163 passes (58.9%) for 1,103 yards, alongside seven touchdowns and three interceptions. He started three games, after Winston got hurt, and won two of them, averaging 248.3 passing yards per game and throwing just one interception.

“For me, at this point in my career, I’m not going to be given or gifted a chance to start anywhere probably,” – said Fitzpatrick. “And so, there’s a lot of things that weigh into it now for me that maybe didn’t years ago in terms of family and different situations. I enjoyed the year that I had here and the Tampa area in general. But I think Jameis did a good job this year, and you can see the improvement in his game, so I’d enjoy being back. I enjoyed my role this year.“
