- Ryan Fitzpatrick retires from NFL: Ranking FitzMagic’s nine most memorable stops (NFL.com) – The long, winding journey of one of the most charismatic NFL characters came to an end when Ryan Fitzpatrick retired Thursday after 17 seasons.

That wasn’t the only reason he was attracted to the Saints, however, as Landry is also a fan of quarterback Jameis Winston.

I’m still alive, I’m breathing and I have an opportunity to work for a championship team. That’s the beauty of it.”
