Larry Fitzgerald looks to finish his career with Cardinals
Josh Weinfuss, ESPN:
The Arizona Cardinals still think the date is February 1, 2009. That was Super Bowl XLIII.

QB Carson Palmer says he will be ready to go for training camp. Their all-time career leader in every major receiving category is in the fold for two more years. The goal was to reward Larry Fitzgerald, and create some salary flexibility. It was good news all around for the Arizona Cardinals.
If this were still 2009, the $23.6 million cap hit for Larry Fitzgerald wouldn't be excessive.
