The contract would have to be renegotiated. I think it comes down to whether Larry would do so to play for a contender for the rest of his career. He is 30, but he could have 5 to 6 more good years left a la Reggie Wayne.

 

I really feel that you can get him for a couple of 2nd rounders or even a 2nd and a 3rd given his contract. Not every team can handle it and the Cardinals don't want to deal with it either.

 

These are big ifs and a deal is not likely.

 

To the person that posted a question about Heyward-Bey, I highly doubt the Colts keep DHB past this year as he has shown poor hands and a nerve-racking desire to jump when he catches the ball.

Pretty sure if/when Fitzgerald is traded, he'll redo his contract.

 

im sure he would love to be traded to the Colts to have a better chance of making the Super Bowl and getting a ring. Im sorry but its not happening in Arizona for another 25-30 years....

I want Larry Fitz as the X, Calvin Johnson as the Z, and Welker in the slot. Dont'care what you do with DHB, TY Hilton, and Whalen, Reed, Rogers.  Cut, trade, send them on a long vacation to the Caribbean.... Just get it done by 4:00 pm today Grigson!

It's possible the Cards may release him next season. But he's not going to play for anything we can afford.

From Fox Sports:

"a trade would become more likely but would also become more challenging due to the contract extension Fitzgerald signed a little over a year ago. When that deal kicks in after the season, Fitzgerald's salary for 2014 will go up to $12.75 million, and his cap hit will be a whopping $18 million. In addition, Fitzgerald has an $8 million roster bonus due before the 2015 season, so any team acquiring him would be making a huge financial commitment to a player who is most likely near the end of his prime."

I don't think we'd do this, but even if we took his current contract, the cap hit wouldn't be $18m. The bonus hits stay with Arizona, so it would be more like $12m. And the Colts have cap space in 2014, so we could afford it. Again, I doubt this happens, but the numbers can be worked out.

      Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !

      Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)

      I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7.

      Harrison Butker's shocking speech, Chiefs probably not going to 3 peat

      By VikingsFanInChennai · Posted

      I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By stitches · Posted

      This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
