Not if we're paying him $32 million for two years. Not in a heartbeat.
I wonder what it would take to get him here with Plax not goin anywhere...
Imagine trading Kiwanuka and a pick for him and signing him to a 6-7 year deal that decreases those absurd cap numbers. Fitz-Plax-Shockey...
Eh probably too much money wrapped up in the offense, sounds like a Mdeen-like dream.

$20 million to use the franchise tag on a WR in 2010.
Holy ****.

Sadly, you are correct. They'll take that 20 million and spend it on a stud like Jevon Kearse or Darren Howard, or they just won't spend it at all because you always have to save $20 million for a rainy day.

I'm a huge Fitz fan. I think he's a top 3 or top 5 WR in the league. I'd love to see McNabb get someone like him.

Fitz would instantly make them Super Bowl contenders next season. McNabbs done well without a true #1 receiver for most of his career that if they were to land him that would solve half of the Eagles problems right there. In fact the only time hes ever had a weapon of Fitzs calibur he went to his lone Super Bowl.

the Eagles would have to give up an insane amount, something like this year's 1st and 2nd and next years 1st, but could they even afford the 14 mil cap hit? or is this all just speculation that Fitz will take a huge pay cut

Im a big Fitz fan myself, but don't you think we're overreacting to how good he is? There are a lot of WRs in this league that have proved a hell of a lot more than Fitz has. In fact, Boldin, his own teammate has outperformed him.
I think too often we let our bias from the combine, and college accomplishments stand in the way and blur what one's true worth is at the NFL level. Fitz is a great WR, but he hasn't done anything for me to believe that he's a top 5 WR in this league.
Can he get to that point? Sure he can. But he's definately not there yet. You gotta prove it first. He hasn't proved anything yet.

I just love his pedigree and work ethic, you pretty much knew he would be great before he got to the NFL...He uses his size to his advantage and has great ball skills and hands...He's not the fastest, but he is very consistent and is a guy that can put up 1300 yds and 8 tds no problems
besides that he's young too, and I just dont think the Cardinals can afford to keep both Boldin and Fitz, and for some reason I feel like if they choose they keep Boldin

The best situation for Larry Fitzgerald would be to give him about a 3 year extension (so lock him up for 5 years), turn a lot of the base salary into signing bonus (total of between $20 and $30 million) and base salaries between 2-4 million. Whether that's in Arizona that it happens or when/if someone trades for him.

I mostly agree, but what he has accomplished by age 24 is at the very least immensly promising. If I were picking wide receivers for a team, he may very well be in the top 5 receivers (although his salary may be more than a bit out of control).

I'd hate to see him get traded period but to the Eagles?! The Eagles can shove it. He needs to stay in Arizona or go to Green Bay!
