At worst, we know we have a QB with amazing swag that can win games.
And it "only" cost 10 million. For a QB, it's pretty cheap. But mainly, we didn't have to spend any draft picks, and we can let the board come to us. I definitely still hope we pick a QB, but doesn't matter what round now. This opens the draft board a bit imo.
Fitzmagic and Heinicke or Allen plus a rookie, is sufficient for 2021.
If a QB falls to 19, take him. But I'm against trading up now. We have holes that need to be filled. And there will be QB's next year.

Love the move! Gives us some flexibility in the draft and FA. Saves us from drafting a QB at 19. Hopefully we’ll add a WR (Samuel), or TE (Henry)

Matthew Berry of ESPN is beyond pumped up for Fitzgerald.
He even low-key snuck in a comment about how dumb the name change is. #keepthegear
It's a video that is part of this article:

I don't expect this to be the last move we make. But I understand why Ron went this route.

Some WFT Twitter folks are mad, what else did they want them to do?? Sign Trubisky? F that. Fitz was the best FA available at QB period

Fitz is an established vet who knows how to play QB in the NFL. He's the perfect Rivera QB.

I see WFT Twitter daily and a lot of them are stupid and are going to be pissy regardless. This was the best possible outcome. If you give up picks for Darnold or pay Trubisky a big FA salary, they are going to be the guy (and they’re probably going to suck).
With Fitz, he’s clearly not a long term solution. Team guy. Crazy smart. 9 teams. Seen it all. Will be able to adjust to a new team with a limited offseason without issue. Gives us the option to still draft a rookie high. If he stinks, Heinicke will get a shot and with Darnold or Trubisky, they probably would be left in regardless of what they did.
I love this. Let’s go squad! Now let’s go get Curtis Samuel and complete the annex of Washington South.

I don't like this move. JMO what QB's has he mentored that have gone on to be good and win consistently.
