Denver Broncos have negotiated with Ryan Fitzpatrick but will not pay his current salary demands.The Super Bowl winners are desperately seeking an answer to their quarterback troubles after Peyton Manning retired and Brock Osweiler left for the Houston Texans.According to ESPN, initial talks with New York Jets Fitzpatrick resulted in a stalemate due to the 33-year-olds financial requests. Mark Sanchez is currently Denvers top QB option but they will strive to add strength to the position Fitzpatrick, who threw for 3,905 yards with 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2015, is seeking a deal worth $18m according to NFL.com but neither the Broncos nor his current employers are keen to pay that sum.The Broncos only quarterback options are Mark Sanchez, who they traded for last week with Philadelphia Eagles, and Trevor Siemian but neither are expected to be the teams first-choice throughout 2016.San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick and recently released Washington Redskins enigma Robert Griffin III remain options for Denver.Also See:NFL VideoRookies guideNFL on Sky SportsPunditsJulius Honka Stars Jersey .

The updates were fitted to both cars ahead of first practice on Friday, but within three laps of running Alonsos session was over due to a water leak.A new power unit was fitted for second practice, incurring a 35-place grid penalty for Alonsos car, while an investigation on the original power unit found that the leak was caused by the power units MGU-H.For the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, weve introduced a new ICE with increased combustion efficiency and a new turbo/compressor combination, to increase power unit performance including efficiency for the latter half of the season, Honda F1 boss Yusuke Hasegawa said. Unfortunately, during FP1 we found a water leak in Fernandos MGU-H and had to cut short his running time.Based on the situation, we assessed that the MGU-H issue was not a consequence of the update and therefore elected to replace it with the same updated spec for FP2. As a result, well incur grid penalties for the race on Sunday. Thankfully the team did a great job in preparing a new power unit to run in FP2, and we were able to get straight back out on track at the start of the session.McLaren warned aheaad of the weekend that it would struggle to match its rivals on Spa-Francorchamps long straights, but Hasegawa said the performance on Friday was promising after the cars drag level was trimmed to compensate for Hondas power deficit.ddddddddddddTodays sessions were focused on running the cars with low downforce and checking grip levels, and, despite the power hungry nature of the circuit, we were able to finish in our now usual midfield positions. The initial feedback on the power unit updates has been positive, so well look to our engineers to fine-tune for tomorrows qualifying and Sundays race.As a result of the grid penalty, Alonso is expected to join Lewis Hamilton, who also has a sizeable engine penalty hanging over him, on the back row of the grid on Sunday. The Spaniard said he would do his best to keep up with the Mercedes driver and is hoping to unlock even more performance from the Honda power unit once it is in race mode.Well be starting Sundays race from the back of the grid, but well be trying our best to recover positions from there. I expect Lewis [Hamilton], wholl be starting next to me, will be quicker than me, so Ill try to hang on to his tail, put a rope around his car and get him to pull me through the field!I still dont have a feeling for the performance of the revised PU, as today we ran it only in conservative modes, so tomorrow well see how much we can push. Im sure itll be a step forward. ' ' '
