Larry will return for his 16th season

[Brian in Mesa]

Yes he did and he has had a few bad drops every year. Still he is the best receiver we could have signed this year. Even this late in Larry's career I would still put him in the top 25 receivers in the NFL. I am very happy to see Larry back for another season. The thought of only having Kirk was a scary one. Now we have at least two guys that can catch the ball next season and i'm sure Keim will bring in at least two more guys to help out KK's offense.

Fitzgerald has 29 career drops on 2,111 targets. So, over a 15 year period he "has had a few bad drops every year"?

I don't think so.



BTW, he's had 37 career tackles. More tackles than drops.

 

[JeffGollin]

First off your fractions are off. It’s not $11 of a $100 . More like $11 on $190. Your Chargers have enough to worry about. You have creeped to the edge of “trollism”. Bye bye.

Boys & Girls - It ain't our money.

Figuring out who makes the roster or #1 on the depth chart is hard enough. There's better ways to use of our time than getting all hairy over whether a dude is worth a gazillion dollars or merely several milion.

 

[NJCardFan]

look at the WR’s below. now think of Larry’s production in 2017, not 2018, and tell me you wouldn’t pay him as much or more than most of these guys.

To put it into perspective, Fitz still had 6 TD with this trainwreck of an offense.

 

[Solar7]

@ARZCardinals isn’t even a true fan, but that aside, he’s not even a businessman.

The team will make the real money back in ticket sales from people coming to see his “final” year.

 

[Snakester]

this year was the first year I noticed him having drops.

I’ve been noticing his drops for a few years now but still it’s nothing compared to most receivers. I’ve only seen one other receiver in my life that had hands like Fitz and that was Jerry Rice.

 

[wa52lz]

I love Larry but if you think his hands are the same old you’re not paying attention. He had several crucial drops this year especially early ones you’de never see in the past.

Several?? It was less then 2 at the most

11 mil for Fitz or 8 mil for Tyrell Williams. That is the argument.

Both!! Do you think Williams can be had for $8 million?

 

[Snakester]

11 mil for Fitz or 8 mil for Tyrell Williams. That is the argument.

We have the money to sign them both and we should.

Chris Carter!

 

[NJCardFan]

Why do you even care? He's not going to the Chargers. You gave up on this team remember? You said something to the effect that you are going to root for a real team. Go find a Philip Rivers fan club or something.

Really. I'm trying to wonder why a Chargers and Rams fan spends so much time on our board.

Exactly, he had 69 receptions with the horrible play calling. I can't wait to see what he gets in KK's offense.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Awesome news.

He still has the skills, and with the situation that the Cardinals are in at WR, he is an asset.

 

[TJ]

As expected ....not a single word of PROOF of why Larry is worth the cap....and NO you can't 'create' cap space....only go into debt later ....like credit cards. The lack of intelligence of the statement that you can 'create cap' space has got to be one of the dumbest things I've heard....sounds like a kid who got a new credit card "LOOK THEY GAVE ME A FREE $500"

0 for 2 so far

He’s Larry F’ing Fitzgerald

There’s your proof

 

[slanidrac16]

Anybody that doesn’t know or see his value just don’t watch cardinal games.

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

I see Larry as almost a player/coach at this point. He wouldn’t be coming back if he wasn’t confident in management/ownership which is a glowing endorsement of this offseason so far. He could have easily had a job in the broadcasting booth. Worth every penny

 

[slanidrac16]

We have the money to sign them both and we should.

Tyrell could learn a lot by playing for a year ( or more) with Larry the Legend.

And practicing and watching film

 

[Jetstream Green]

This does not surprise me at all. I would have been surprised if he did not since his play has still been productive the last few years and overall the guy has remained health... maybe catching all those Rice records might be out of reach, but he's close to a lot of other guys and this new offense will give that objective a boost

 

[DRM08]

This must mean that he has faith in coach Kingsbury

Kliff’s offense is a receiver’s dream come true.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m stoked for josh and the young wrs and Kingsbury to have Larry.

I’m stoked to watch him move into the #2 slot.

But to be selfishly honest I’m most stoked about the moment I pulled into my driveway after work earlier today to find our 8- and 7- year olds playing football with their mom in the front yard, and when I told them Fitz was coming back for another season the 7-year old starting jumping up and down with his fists in the air as he ran towards me and leapt into my arms for a celebratory hug yelling “YES! YES! YES!!!!” I will have that moment emblazoned in my memories for the rest of my life.

Welcome back Fitz. We love you for so many reasons.

Now here’s a picture of my 10-year old Weimaraner whose official AKC registered name is “Fitzgerald’s Great Super Bowl Catch” - we just call him “Fitz.” (The little one is our 1-year old Vizsla Ginger)

Kliff’s offense is a receiver’s dream come true.

And David Johnson’s. Kliff has had success in the running game and with tight ends. He coaches around his personnel

Source: Larry Fitzgerald’s new contract with the Cardinals includes a $4.85M signing bonus and $11M base salary. In his 16th NFL season, Fitz will earn nearly $16M.

 

[az jam]

Looks too high for me. Last year I thought it was just $11 Million

UPDATE: Add a $5 million bonus in 2018, he made $16 million last year also

 

[Snakester]

I like 11 mil for him. 16 not so much. For what he has meant to this franchise over the years I’m not going to begrudge him the other 5 million. No wonder Larry is coming back. 16 million is a lot of clams.

And he'll still play better than most players play in a contract year. Guy goes all out all the time. Amazing to watch.
