Always respected his game. :2thumbs:
Fitzgerald closing in on an extension with the Cardinals comes as somewhat of surprise since the 10-time Pro Bowler was contemplating the possibility of retirement last offseason. However, in July, Fitzgerald told NFL Network's Steve Wyche he wasn't ready to retire.
"I can still play at a high level," Fitzgerald said. "If my number is called I can still make a play."
Fitzgerald has certainly proved that. The big question remains what changes could come to the desert this offseason? Palmer's injury spurred talk of the possible end of the Palmer-Fizgerald-Bruce Arians era in Arizona. At 4-5, the Cardinals are sitting dangerously close to missing the playoffs again, and changes could be in the cards.
Giving Fitzgerald an extension will at least give the Cardinals some certainty -- and insurance -- in their passing game.
