Larry Fitzgerald Hints He May Play Elsewhere In 2017


No, I wouldn't say that I'm contemplating [retirement] right now," Fitzgerald said. "But I'm uncertain what I'm going to do moving forward. But I still love the game, I love the competition. I love being around the guys and competing for a championship. That's a lot of fun to me, and that's kind of where I’m at right now."

I saw Rappaport say that Sean Payton is interested in the Rams gig

Translation - Carson Palmer is done. Get Romo in here. Or else.

That was one of my first posts when I joined RealGm almost 3 years ago. Arizona would never go anywhere with Carson Palmer. Three years later, the same conversation is about to take place.

Can't help but wonder if the seat is getting hot for Rex Ryan again. Since firing his offensive coordinator, the defense has fallen apart. IMHO, the Ryan boys have over stayed their welcome in the NFL. And I also can't help wonder when the Bengal fans will wake up and give Lewis the boot. He has wasted enough opportunities of making the playoffs with not one playoff win in over a decade.

Sounds good & all but Palmer is still owed alot of money next year ($24,125,000 cap hit). If he leaves that's alot of dead money ($28,750,000- Dead money) tied up toward their cap. Romo ain't signing for the minimum. Palmer ain't going anywhere.

The team I do feel most bad for are the Chargers. They don't even know where they will even play next year, their front office is a mess, no coach, a lot of injuries once again and an aging QB that is most definitly on a downward spiral.

Sadly, that team is gone. No way they stay in SD now.

Wow, rejected by their own fans. I guess the fans finally woke up and said we are not paying for a billionare's new stadium with the product he is putting on the field year after year. The NFL will be different without the Charger's in it.

Same thing happened here (public vote) & so the Sonic's left. It's getting harder & harder to get public money towards stadiums passed. Especially on the west coast.

You mean these billionare owners can't afford their won stadiums? Why can't the NFL step in and help out? They only fight over 9 billion dollars a year to divy up.

Exactly. But, they've been exploiting cities for decades. They don't want to give up that cash cow. :wink:

Not every owner is willing to pay like JJ. Owners like Spanos are looking for handouts only.

On the flip side, I'm sure there a lot of other teams that are getting tired of loyally supporting their teams when owners continue to put out such a lousy product.

Jerry would just out spend everyone. The problem with Jerry is he spends on the wrong characters. Just think were we would be today with Johnny Manziel instead of Martin and Frederick.

Which is why I feel blessed to have an owner like Paul Allen. Dude is willing to spend but also stays out of the way. Hires the best football people & lets them do their job. The previous owner was more like Spanos. For as much flak as JJ gets, it could be a lot worse for Cowboy fans. Really only a handful of good ones.
