Larry Fitzgerald

We must start with the best and the one guy everyone wants to see return next season.  Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald signed a contract extension for 2018.  Does he really intend to return though?

He was asked again this week about his intentions.  He told azcardinals.com that he was going to take his time.

That’s the same song we got from him last season before he made the decision to return in 2017 right before the Super Bowl last February.  He will likely take some time to determine how he feels.

The Cardinals could use him right now while they figure out the depth chart behind him.  It’s a bit of a mess.

Will Sunday’s game against the New York Giants be his last game at home for the Cardinals?  Don’t bet on it.

If it is his final home game for the team, then surely most would understand.  After the way this season played out and still producing at a high level it may be hard to walk away right now.

Return in 2018 prediction: Yes
