Report: Texans on verge of trading Ryan Fitzpatrick to the Jets

The Jets are on the verge of trading for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in exchange for a late-round draft pick, reports the New York Daily News on Wednesday. A Fitzpatrick trade could happen as soon as free agent quarterback Brian Hoyer signs with the Texans.

Fitzpatrick has ties to Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey. He played under Gailey for three seasons with the Bills (2010-2012). He went 16-29 as a starter with 71 touchdowns and 67 turnovers under Gailey in Buffalo.
