The Facts:
The Jets signed Fiedler on Friday, hoping the quarterback can provide experience and depth behind Chad Pennington, who is recovering from offseason surgery on his right rotator cuff. Fiedler reportedly received a five-year deal with $1.3 million guaranteed, including a $500,000 signing bonus.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The move made sense for both sides: New York wanted someone with experience to back up Pennington; the 33-year-old Fiedler is entering his 10th season as a pro and is very familiar with AFC East competition from his days as Miami's starting QB.
