The Arizona Cardinals are in a tough spot with the recent news on wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The injury to their All-Pro wideout has raised some speculation that a certain icon might be itching to come back.
Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald is no longer on the team after 17 standout seasons in Arizona. He however hasn't made any retirement announcement official.
In his recent appearance on the Let's Go! podcast, Fitzgerald was asked by host Jim Gray about the possibility of him returning after DeAndre Hopkins was ruled out for several weeks, which could potentially mean the season.
But unfortunately for Cardinals fans, Larry Fitzgerald isn't blazing a comeback trail despite the circumstances to do so.
Via AZCardinals.com:
“Nothing’s changed on that front, Jim, for me,” Fitzgerald said.
Fitz went on to talk about how he felt bad for both Hop and Godwin, and how the Cardinals were going to make the playoffs, and how he hoped Hopkins would be able to make it back. But if anyone wasn't sure about Fitz' thoughts on being done — without him saying absolutely “I'm done” — then this is it.
While the idea seems good on paper, Larry Fitzgerald would be entering his age-38 season. He's far from the 11-time Pro Bowler who endeared himself to the Cardinals franchise for nearly two decades.
