For the last 16 years, Cardinal — and NFL — fans have had the luxury of witnessing one of the greatest wide receivers to ever play the game wear No. 11 for the Arizona Cardinals. Larry Fitzgerald could probably run for Governor someday and the people would elect him in a landslide. That’s the type of impact he’s had here in the desert.
The good news is, he’s coming back for a 17th season. The bad news is, we don’t know if it’ll be his last, or penultimate season. Regardless, at some point, Fitz will retire and the Cardinals need to have a plan now if they want to stay competitive in the brutal NFC West.
