[...] that mountain man look with his bushy beard and puffed-up pompadour certainly didn't help him stay incognito. Whether it was at the airport, restaurants, public bathrooms or on the golf course, Fitzpatrick heard from fans who wanted to know if he'd ever re-sign with the Jets, why he wouldn't accept their initial offer and whether he'd retire. Fitzpatrick agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the Jets on Wednesday and signed the contract minutes before the team's first training camp practice Thursday. [...] Jets fans cheered Fitzpatrick when he jogged onto the practice field Saturday before heavy thunderstorms forced the players indoors and sent the soaked crowd home early. After Fitzpatrick took over last summer for the injured Geno Smith, who had his jaw broken by a punch from a teammate in the locker room, he quickly got up to speed in Chan Gailey's offense and thrived. The Jets' offense ranked 10th overall in the NFL last year, and they were 11th with 24.2 points per game. Marshall set the team records with 109 receptions and 1,502 yards receiving. [...] Decker established the franchise mark with 10 red-zone touchdown catches. Marshall and Decker, with Fitzpatrick throwing the ball to them, broke the NFL mark for the most games with teammates catching at least one touchdown pass in the same game at 10 games.
