Larry Fitzgerald News
Free-agent wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald never officially retired, but he said on a SiriusXM podcast that he's not considering a return to the NFL despite the fact that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) probably won't return until at least the NFC Championship, if the Cardinals even make it that deep into the postseason. "Nothing's changed on that front, Jim, for me," Fitzgerald said. The 11-time Pro Bowler spent his entire 17-year career with the Cardinals, but it looks like Fitz has unofficially hung up his cleats for good. In 13 games for the Cardinals in 2020, he caught 54 of his 72 targets for 409 yards and one touchdown, and he was no longer the focal point of the offense after putting up nine 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald hasn't ruled out retirement, at least in an official capacity. However, the veteran also didn't appear too enthusiastic about a potential return, recently commenting during an interview on Sirius XM that he doesn't "have the urge to play right now." Nonetheless, even if he does come back for his 18th season, it's unlikely he would make much of a difference on the fantasy front, primarily with the Cardinals having plenty of options on the offensive end. While the former 2004 No. 3 overall pick could always suit up for another team, he would likely spend another season in Arizona, although he probably wouldn't have much purpose outside of a leadership role.
When asked by Jim Gray on SiriusXM Radio if he will play football this year, free-agent wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald sounds more like he's leaning toward a soft retirement than anything. "For now I'll be a radio broadcaster. Jim, to be honest with you, I just don't have the urge to play right now. I don't know how I'll feel in September, October, November moving forward but I just, today, I just don't have the urge," Fitzgerald said. If the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer does decide to return, it'll probably only be with the Arizona Cardinals, where he'd likely have a much smaller role than he did in his first two seasons in Arizona with head coach Kliff Kingsbury when he averaged 6.2 targets per game. If this is truly it for Fitz, he'll finish with an amazing 1,432 receptions for 17,492 yards and 121 touchdowns in 263 career games over 17 seasons, all with the Cardinals.
