Arizona Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald is currently a free agent with the NFL regular season right around the corner.
With Fitzgerald remaining unsigned and staying silent all offseason about his next move, the Cardinals greatest wideout of all-time revealed his plan on SiriusXM's “Let's Go,” with Jim Gray.
“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. And I think I have to be respectful of that. Football is not one of those games you want to walk out there and play and not be fully engaged and ready to prepare and do the things necessary that you need to do.”
While Fitzgerald didn't specifically mention the word retire or mention not going back to the Cardinals, it sure sounds like the legendary wide receiver doesn't have any plans on playing in the NFL this year.
The Cardinals already had DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk in the fold and this offseason they added both A.J. Green and Rondale Moore. The wide receiver room is now stacked in Arizona.
Certainly, if Fitzgerald wanted to come back, one would believe those conversations would be had. But so far, it sounds like No. 11 is fine and comfortable in the broadcast booth instead of on the field with a helmet on.
It'll be interesting to see if Fitzgerald changes his mind once the season starts but for now, he sounds super content with his choice.
