Report: Cardinals engage Larry Fitzgerald's agent in contract talks
The Arizona Cardinals appear reluctant to let wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald walk.
The team and Fitzgerald's agent have engaged in early talks about a new contract, according to Kent Somers of AZ Central Sports.
Money has not been discussed as of yet, but with Fitzgerald due an $8 million bonus if he's on the roster on March 17 and a $23.6-million cap number, the team will be looking to reduce his salary.
Fitzgerald has not made a decision regarding his future but reports of him being finished in Arizona appear to be premature.
That being said, he could play almost anywhere for a reasonable salary, making contending teams an attractive option for the career Cardinal.
One thing appears certain, the Cardinals are unwilling to move forward with Fitzgerald at his current price tag.
