Larry Fitzgerald The Cardinals With Cash: New Eight Years, $ 120 Million Deal
The Arizona Cardinals cover future dynamics of their offense going to keep the only element of the offense they could not do without. Cardinals announced Saturday that they have signed a new Fitzgerald to 8 years, $ 120 million with nearly 50 million guaranteed. The extension puts Fitzgerald in Arizona during the season 2018 (at least hypothetically, when the nature of NFL contracts fun), and made him the highest paid non-quarterback in NFL history. By John Clayton ESPN.com, only Peyton and Eli Manning (notes) Tom Brady (notes) and Philip Rivers (notes) now has a higher average wage than Fitzgerald.
Selected third in all, Arizona in 2004, the project of Pitt, Fitzgerald has amassed 613 catches for 8204 yards, an average of 13.4 catches and 65 touchdowns.
When I spoke with Fitzgerald in March, he spoke of his uncertain future, but in a way that characterized his cool and elegant.
"Coach Whisenhunt and his staff have a good idea of what is right in terms of wins, and I like to play, and in that city. We hope to reach an agreement, and I can end my career there. What I want to do. "
Fitzgerald noticed a free agent after the 2011 season and had a clause in his current contract to keep the letters from him, the franchise in 2012. One thing that Fitzgerald wanted to see their franchises in the NFL only the restoration of stability and excellence for the change of position.

To this end, the offseason, the Cardinals traded a second round pick, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, rear corner (notes) and the Philadelphia Eagles for quarterback Kevin Kolb services (notes), which is now scheduled to take the cards back Kurt Warner in the Glory Days (Notes) a few years ago. Kolb, can never be responsible for talent at Warner, but at least Warner has obtained primary weapon at his disposal.
If no evidence was required in respect of expertise Fitzgerald brings to the game, which came in 2010 when he caught 90 yesterday for 1137 yards and six touchdowns with a quarter of a rotation John Skelton (Notes), Derek Anderson (notes), and Max Hall (note). Even with total Fitzgerald went towards the last season of performance measures Outsiders football, proving that there is only so much a receiver can bring to the table.
Fitzgerald left the signature cards with several questions remain offensive. Rookie running back Ryan Williams (notes) suffered a torn patellar tendon in the preseason loss to Arizona 28-20 Week 2 Green Bay Packers, the team lacks a true complementarity relieve pressure receptors Fitzgerald (though Andre Roberts (note) is an interesting player), and the offensive line remains a work in progress - in particular to address the left.
But the only thing the Cardinals could not have survived the loss of Fitzgerald - and now, more than likely they have it for the rest of his career.
