Packers Morning Buzz: Making some 'FitzMagic' backing up Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay?

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com sizing up the quarterback market for this offseason and making a projection for every starting and backup opening. For the Packers, he envisions Ryan Fitzpatrick (who earned the nickname "FitzMagic" when he became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 400 yards or more in three straight games last season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) providing Aaron Rodgers with a veteran backup.

Regarding the Packers, La Canfora writes:

Sign Ryan Fitzpatrick. It's time to spend some money on a backup at this stage of Aaron Rodgers' career. I get and agree with the desire to always have a developmental QB or two, but it's time to start winning again, and DeShone Kizer is not any real insurance behind him.

Aaron Rodgers has the richest contract in the sport and if he goes down, nothing matters anymore.
