Larry Fitzgerald - 7th Richest Football Player Ever

[bankybruce]

He is the 2nd highest non QB. Sure this won't last long with rising salaries, but we should never hear the word cheap used in the same sentence as Bidwill again.

And look who is #8.

Cam Newton and Russell Wilson will change that ranking very quickly...

Wow Palmer is # 6 according to sportstrac (they show fitz as 8)

Hence why the whole contract adjustment thing isn't a big deal. He has cashed in on being the face of the franchise, and if he retires here will continue to do so pretty much forever.

Spotrac doesn't have Vick listed. Something seems off with thier list. Ryan is also a bit out of whack on it too.

Not only is this the first non quarterback to make the list, but he is also on the same time as Carson Palmer as well. However, as a wide receiver he is starting to see the end of his career at his age of 31. While he is likely to remain on the field for several more years, he might not be the top target for much longer as his speed begins to drop.



Yeah an the quote above about Fitz being the first non-qb. I guess J.Peppers is a QB?

What I can't discern is if they are talking what they have in their bank accounts or have earned in NFL salaries or if it also includes endorsement earnings as well.

Kind of crazy that two Cardinals are on the list, obviously Palmer got most of his money from the Bengals and Raiders but still.......

Cam has his deal, it is time for Russell to get his deal.

What the hell will Luck get eventually? They'll need a Brinks truck - for his agent's commission!

Good for him. Larry has always been what you wish every athlete would be. He works at his craft. He gives a lot of himself and his money to the community. Both in Arizona and Minnesota. Has always kept his nose clean. Says the right things when addressing the public. Someone you wish your kid would grow up like if you are into sports. I have the utmost respect for him and have always been bummed he could not be a Viking. Congratulations to the Cardinal organization for drafting him and keeping him in the organization his whole career.
