Michael Vick played last season with the Jets and started 3 games after the struggling Geno Smith was benched by Rex Ryan. Now with Geno Smith being out at least 6 weeks due to a broken jaw it has been speculated that maybe Vick would return to the Jets. Vick would be as good or better than Fitzpatrick or any of the other free agents out in the market right now.
Seem like the Jets had the seem thought about Vick and even reached out about his possible resigning. However both parties felt it best that they move on and Vick not return. However that leads me to believe it was more Vick decision not to return than Jets.
I'm told the #Jets and QB Michael Vick's agent had a conversation about the potential of him re-joining the team in Geno Smith's absence.

However, both parties — the #Jets and Vick — determined that it wasn't in their best interests to resume their professional relationship.
