15mil/yr for a WR?......lololololololololol


I suppose if idiots like Holmes is worth 10mil/yr than Fitz is worth way more than that. Only QBs should be in that type of price range.

That's bonkers. $50M guaranteed for a WR? That's an overpay, even for a bad ass WR like L-Fitz. Good for him, though. Good guy, hard worker, monster player. I imagine they could have gotten him for cheaper though.

On a side note, the Cards obviously feel like he and Kolb are the present and future of their team.

Better be for that kinda change. I have a strong feeling Fitz will not Haynesworth it.

Difference is AJ is currently playing under a contract (that has been extended multiple times) that is worth $73.5M total over 10 years. Fitzgerald's is $46.5M more than AJ's, and AJ may be the better player. That's why I said it's an overpay.

It really does, but they couldn't go into the season and allow Fitzgerald to see whether he really wanted to stay in Arizona or not.

It's a monster deal, perhaps more than he would have gotten on the open market, but the Cardinals are stuck between a rock and a hard place if Fitzgerald walks. The financial flexibility they would have gained would have been useless if they had their investment in Kolb and nothing else around him.
