Appearing on ESPN Radio Los Angeles with Max Kellerman and Marcellus Wiley, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. had this to say when asked about the possibility, via SportsRadioInterviews.com: “No. The Vikings are clearing cap space I have heard that but Larry has to make that decision. This is his life and he has always wanted to be a Viking because he is a Viking. He was a ball boy and that type of thing. He loves playing in Arizona, he’s valued in that community, and he’s a Cardinal

Fingers crossed.. This would be amazing for the future of the team, rolling with Ponder and Fitz in the future, with Adrian doing his thing.. wow

That would definitely do wonders to help out a young QB. Tossing it up to Fitz, handoff to Peterson.

Maybe Marrdro will finally get that three-deep passing attack he's been chiming for.

Wouldn't I love that. My dads been talking about Larry since he got drafted. But there is no way that happens. I hope I can eat my own words but Larry got to choose the QB that Arizona would go after. They won't trade for his choice then trade him away.

glad he put that out there..maybe that will light a fire under our WR's a$$es to get them to perform better (only directed towards Berrian),,if Fitz might be here next season.

If this happens then you can say... Sidney who?

It all comes down to Kolb.

If Kolb starts the season hot, I think Fitzgerald signs a long term deal that the Cardinals are obviously presenting to him.

If Kolb sucks, he hits the open market. If Fitz hits the open market and we offer him good money, he'd in all likelihood sign with us. Of course it depends on how we look this year as well. If we bounce back and the QB(s) look solid, I can't see any reason why he wouldn't want to be here.

Agreed.

Keeping fingers crossed that Kolb is a bust.

Wonder if Fitz would even take a hometown discount? Obviously not a lowball offer, but not some stupid outrageous contract he'd get elsewhere.

I know it would be awesome to see him come back home. But I dont think it will ever happen. But it is a nice thought....:cheer:

I think the hometown discount would depend largely on how big of a contender we are. If we have a legit shot at a championship he'd be more willing to take a little less. If we continue to play poorly I'm thinking he moves on. He's getting to the point in his career where the only thing he hasn't proved is earning a Super Bowl ring.
