Per Schefter: Fitzgerald to sign 8 yr. $120 mil. contract

[Jersey Girl]

Thank god. Eat it Minnesota. Same ol' cheap ass cardinals right!?

 

[asuhoopsnut]

I bet he does. He'll want to out do Kurt Warner and play until he's 39.

If he is still productive at that age, it would be great! Whether he is secured for 8 or 9 years, I am ecstatic!

 

[PDXChris]

Now that this is done, what is next for the FO? I wonder how much of this years cap space is being used and how much we have left to sign a few more players. Should be a interesting next couple of days.

 

[Dayman]

Press conference scheduled for 6:30, according to Urban.

I've never been so happy about a contract. The fact that it is so huge is GREAT!!!!!

 

[sportznutt]

It could have been for a billion dollars and I would have been happy.

We need to change the title of this thread to FITZ GOT PAID

 

[Dan H]

Awesome! But . . .

Hopefully the extra stadium revenue will keep this from being Plummer part two . . .

(ducks incoming rocks)

 

[asuhoopsnut]

Anyone know if any of the television stations will be covering the press conference live?

I can't believe those idiot Cardinals would tie up that much money in the WR position. WRs only touch the ball 5-6 times a game and don't have near the impact other positions do. Stupid move.

 

[sportznutt]

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are set to sign Larry Fitzgerald to an eight-year, $120 million contract extension that includes close to $50 million guaranteed.

Apparently Fitzgerald is comfortable with new quarterback Kevin Kolb. The guaranteed money is the most ever given to a non-quarterback, and makes Fitzgerald the league's highest-paid receiver. Arguably the game's most physically gifted player, Fitzgerald illustrated just how dominant he truly is in 2010 by putting up his usual ridiculous numbers (90 catches, 1,137 yards and six touchdowns) despite having turnover-machine Derek Anderson and rookie John Skelton throwing him the ball. Still 11 days shy of his 28th birthday, it's not outside the realm of possibility he could remain elite for the duration of his new deal.

Fitz Signing

The NFL Channel just announced that the Cards are going to have a press conference in 1/2 hour to announce the signing of Fitz.

 

[ajcardfan]

Awesome! But . . .

Hopefully the extra stadium revenue will keep this from being Plummer part two . . .

Plummer part 2 would've been paying Kolb and then no one else for the next five years.

 

[40yearfan]

Sorry. Didn't see the other thread.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Sorry. Didn't see the other thread.

No worries. Merging is fun.

 

[Cardiac]

NFLN announced a press conf coming up within an half hour to announce the Fitz deal.

At some point the non believers will let go of the all to painful past. This is not your fathers Cardinals.

Fitz is a man of his word and the Cards are ALL IN.

 

[Longcolts]

No worries. Merging is fun.

Gasp!!!!

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Good job FO.

Now go to work on the other needs of the team. You said you were waiting until the Fitz contract was done.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Hell yeah! Off season is a rousing success!

 

[Jersey Girl]

Gasp!!!!

LOL. Love ya, Longcolts.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

Holy H***.

I called 7yrs and 100 mil and thought I was reaching.

Yeeeeess!!!!!

 

[Timm Rosenbach]

They say you get three great women in your life. I say you get three great players on a team in a lifetime.

This one didn't get away
