Uh, the Cardinals are paying Fitz big money for the exact same production over the last four years. 388 catches; 4178 yds.; 10.7 avg, and 23 TDs. Landry's numbers are 400 catches; 4038 yds.; 10.2 avg. and 22 TDs. Now I'm not saying the two guys are equal, just pointing out that their stats are quite similar and the QB situation in AZ was a little bit better than in Miami.
If Larry wasn't Larry, I wouldn't want to pay what we're paying him. The most important thing is that Larry's production comes up in big spots. Landry has been nowhere near as clutch, although we could blame that on his team.
But the value of Fitz to our team goes beyond the statistics. Jarvis has had some character concerns in the organization. Plus Fitz is 34 and Landry is 25... Fitz is being paid for his body of work when he was somehow even more productive - I don't anticipate Jarvis Landry getting much better than the stat lines he's put up.
Again, I like the player, but I'm not willing to pay him as our number one receiver at $16 million per year.
