Jets general manager had a brief call with the press yesterday. He touched upon Ryan Fitzpatrick, Muhammad Wilkerson, Damon Harrison, Darrelle Revis' injury, and other topics. As should come as no surprise, there was not a whole lot of substance coming from a call with an NFL general manager at this time of the year. Here are some of the highlights.
Maccagnan says he didn't become aware of Revis' wrist injury until about a week ago. Wasn't receiving treatment in-season. #NYJ

Macc says Revis wasn’t on injury report because the #Jets never treated it. All they did was tape it up.

"It was never an injury that was really brought to our intention," Mike Maccagnan said of Darrelle Revis' wrist, in terms of last season.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan on Revis' wrist surgery: "One of the doctors felt it was potentially a torn ligament."
— New York Jets (@nyjets) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan: "We feel we have a very good situation for Ryan [Fitzpatrick] here. He's a very good fit for us." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan won't get into any details of talks with Fitzpatrick. "Our goal is to hopefully get Ryan under contract," he said.
— Dom Cosentino (@domcosentino) March 18, 2016
Macc says goal is still to get Ryan Fitzpatrick back. Won’t go into if the #Jets & he are close/far. "I’ll leave it at that"
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) March 18, 2016
"We like Ryan. We’d like to have Ryan back. I think at the end of the day, it’s free agency. You go through this" - Macc on Fitz
— Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan: We did obviously bring in RGIII... It was more to do our due diligence with him.
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan: "At some point in time hopefully we can find a middle ground we’re both happy with."
— New York Jets (@nyjets) March 18, 2016
An expected theme developing here: Macc doesn't want to discuss contingency plan(s) if they can't sign Fitz. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan says #Jets have backup plans at QB. Adds that "our focus is to get something done w/ Ryan" & RGIII was them doing "due diligence"
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan won't put a timeline on when he'd like to get a deal done with Fitzpatrick.
— Dom Cosentino (@domcosentino) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan: "Ryan is a free agent and we're actively trying to facilitate a contract with him." #Jets
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan said thought right now is that D'Brickashaw Ferguson will be on Jets' roster in 2016, but also adds "we'll see" how things unfold
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
Mike Maccagnan said Geno Smith was "technically ahead of Ryan" last offseason. Maccagnan praises Smith's performance last offseason.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
"He would definitely be a possibility to step into that role," Maccagnan said of Geno Smith maybe starting if Fitzpatrick signs elsewhere.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
"I thought we were close when it was all said and done," Mike Maccagnan said of Jets' contract offer, compared to Giants, for Damon Harrison
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
"The Giants made a very aggressive, very competitive offer for Damon," Mike Maccagnan said of Harrison. "It was above ours."
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan said Jets "tried to close the gap as best we could" in Damon Harrison's contract offer with Giants.
— Dom Cosentino (@domcosentino) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan on Muhammad Wilkerson trade possibilities: "It's not something we're actively pursuing." Doesn't rule out having that change.
— Dom Cosentino (@domcosentino) March 18, 2016
On trading Mo Wilkerson, Maccagnan said "it's not something we're actively pursuing." #jets
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan on McLendon & Jenkins: They've agreed to terms... Good value type guys in the marketplace.
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) March 18, 2016
Macc says Jenkins and McLendon are "good value-type guys" in the market. Notes that they have limited $$$ to spend this off-season. #NYJ
— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan on McLendon & Jenkins: McLendon has some history at the nose & Jenkins gives us some flexibility along the DL
— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) March 18, 2016
"We know he's a little bit older than some of the other backs, but he's still a very good back," Mike Maccagnan said of Matt Forte.
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
"It was a market probably flush with cash (cap room available)," Maccagnan said of free agency, when asked about other QBs getting big money
— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) March 18, 2016
Maccagnan confirms that both Jordan Norwood & Courtney Upshaw visited, says both visits went "very well." Jets will see how it unfolds.
