Schefter just reported Fitz is on the block

[L-TownCat]

My mind can't comprehend a Panthers team consisting of Cam, Smitty, Olsen, Fitzgerald and Ginn.

Just having Steve Smith and Larry Fitzgerald on the same team at the same time makes me a little light-headed.

trade? no.

 

make a bid in the offseason? absolutely.

U guys are friggin crazy. No wide receiver in the league has got skills like fitz. Not even CJ or AJ. I've always liked him. And if he woulda had a good qb all these years he would have clearly been the best wide out stat wise. But yet he has Palmer, kolb, Anderson and so on trying to throw it to him. Look what he did with warner. He's still got 5 good good years left in him

Its got nothing to do with his skills. It's the price to performance ratio. We cant pay top tier wr money, top tier mlb money, top tier qb money, top tier dt money etc... We are going to have to make tough choices eventually. Larry Fitzgerald is a luxury item we can't afford and keep the team competitive.

You would go into the offseason bidding war for Fitz?

Seems it would be a cheaper proposition to get him now. Only 1 week left before the deadline, Arizona could be nervous about getting nothing in return or even worse having to outright cut they guy. He could be had for a 3rd with his recent lull in production(not his fault).

Are you serious? He just beatdown the best corner in the NFL.

 

2 catches for 17 yards and no scores....or were you talking about someone other than Richard Sherman?

This is an intriguing proposition. Having Fitz would be the bomb. But like has been mentioned. Cost is a mitigating factor. He has gotten paid already. If he ain't greedy, maybe he would sign for less?

I would take him. But he has to be willing to sign a Gettlemen contract. Other teams will offer more. Will he play for us and a chance to win? Or take more money with another team he feels can win?

Ah hellz. This ain't happening. No Stud WR is going to sign here for what Gettlemen can offer. If we get our Stud, it will be through the draft.

[KendrickPanther]

He's a terrific player but probably impossible to work out.

[Pox 08]

would love to have at a reduced contract.   His hands,  vision,  route running skills,  are elite and will remain elite , probably for at least another 6-7 years.

Fans tend to forget that Fitzgerald also has a very high football IQ (which was on display perfectly last week). There'll be games where he'll be shut out but he remains a force for the offense because he knows where to find a weakness in the secondary.

 

We can get somewhere younger for cheaper

 

I really wish we finally do something instead of sitting around as usual

[Kevin Greene]

No thanks, I know he has had some crappy QBs, but where's the separation from defenders?

[Udogg]

From a statistical standpoint, those numbers are pedestrian but looking at what Larry did in run support (two big blocks on Sherman) and finding the cracks in the secondary (specifically help over the top with Chancellor which kept Sherman off-balanced) for his fellow receivers and quarterback... that's far from pedestrian. Now, did his teammates execute? Nope, however, Sherman admitted after the game that Fitzgerald got into his head. Good enough for me.

 

Reaching and stretching.......

It would be a dream situation to get him at a restructured contract and on the field for another 4-6 years.  It would certainly give us a chance at more wins and potential playoff implications if he is anywhere on the field with Smitty.  I don't think it's feasible given the $$ but a nice moment to dream of the inconceivable!
