Larry Fitzgerald is pondering his future in the NFL, but there’s no question about where he wants to play, according to his father. Larry Fitzgerald Sr. says that his son is only interested in playing for the Cardinals.
“There’s no chance,” Fitzgerald Sr. told Gil Brandt and Alex Marvez of SiriusXM. “This will be it. If it’s not with the Cardinals, we’ve seen the last of Larry Fitzgerald in the National Football League wearing No. 11.”
Still, it’s not clear when Fitzgerald will make the call on playing versus retiring. At the moment, the 34-year-old (35 in August) has a lot to digest between the team’s hiring of Steve Wilks as head coach and the retirement of Carson Palmer, which leaves the team without a clear successor at quarterback. If Fitzgerald decides to move forward with the new-look Cardinals, there’s already a contract in place thanks to his one-year, $11MM extension signed in November.
Fitzgerald has plenty of incentive to return to football, including his pursuit of a Super Bowl ring and his own personal place in the record books. With another 92 catches and 390 receiving yards, he’ll bypass Tony Gonzalez and Terrell Owens for second all-time on the NFL’s receptions and receiving yards list, respectively.
Because he doesn’t have to guts to go compete for a winner. It’s better to be a big fish in a small pond like AZ where the media attention and expectations are low.
You’re questioning Fitzgerald’s guts of all things?
you’re a troll
take a hike
What a classless piece of $#%T
That is qbass187 to be clear.
Log off
Qbass187 – I don’t mean to continue the bashing of you for your ridiculous comment, but we’re you drunk when you posted that comment questioning one of the toughest men in sports Larry Fitzgerald? Seriously?
Try to ignore trolls people. They crave attention.
I really respect Fitzgerald for wanting to remain a Cardinal to the end. He’s one of the greatest to ever do it, and as far as I know, a great man as well. Would be nice to see if he could get a qb (Cousins maybe?) and a healthy David Johnson and give it one more go. In the NFC any one team can totally flip it and make a run (Eagles Vikings and Rams this season) so why not the Cardinals
Gotta respect a guy who wants to stick it out for one franchise. Its a shame that he is unlikely to win a Super Bowl if he stays in Arizona but kudos to him.
