FitzMagic isn't out of tricks just yet, and Twitter can't believe it.
The Miami Dolphins reportedly signed veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to what feels like his millionth NFL contract (it's actually his eighth team in 15 seasons) on Sunday amid what's expected to be a dramatic rebuild for the AFC East outfit.
Unless Miami drafts a quarterback, the 36-year-old Fitzpatrick will likely be handed another starting job. And immediately after the news broke, social media couldn't resist poking fun at the signing.

I could think of no better person to steer the ghost ship that is the 2019 Dolphins than Ryan Fitzpatrick. This is tanking done right.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is not ruining any tanks lol. He was born into the tank. The Dolphins merely adopted it

However, some on Twitter are still believers in Fitz's (supernatural) ability to conjure up a surprise or two.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is definitely beating the Patriots in Miami to ruin the Dolphins’ chance of getting the top pick.
