This deal saves the Cardinals a lot of money, particularly this season dropping Fitzgerald's salary from close to $17million down to $8 and gives them room to get some free agents to help better the team.  It is good to see Larry saw the needs of his team and restructured a deal that still takes care of him financially while allowing his team a chance to get better.  Nice to see a superstar the caliber of Fitzgerald take the high road.

I agree.Nice to see that there are some players willing to put the team first instead of dollar signs.

I agree but it should have been done sooner to help the team at the beginning of the FA period.

Here in Tampa we have seen Derrick Brooks and Ronde Barber, as well as others over the years, restructure deals to benefit the team.  It is nice to see as long as the team holds up its end and tries to get better.  It is part of the reason Tampa has maintained a real good defense for over a decade with very few lapses.

That is good for the Cards they kept Fitz but I want the Eagles to sign Bryant Johnson.  They need a guy with that kind of size.

I agree.  In a few years if Larry is still with the team, let's see if the Cards turn the favor and keep him instead of deciding he is not worth it considering how much he saving them now.

I agree, this will be huge for the Cards once the deal is finalized. Fitzgerald knows the team has a lot of potential and every year we all say this is the year the Cards will make a run.

Maybe the unselfishness of Fitzgerald will lead to a few FA signings and a good draft. Getting another stud on the OL will be key for them and possibly getting one of the many quick backs in this years draft. Some should fall into the second round that show potential.

I'm not a Cards fan, but I know they lost some close games last year. They might be one or two pieces from making the playoffs.

I agree.  A lot of the top receivers in today's game would have demanded the final two years of his contract or to be traded.  With the 15 mil bonus he is supposed to get he will still be making like 17 mil this year.  It is great to see a player who loves the game get paid and at the same time help his team out so they can all benefit.  Can you imagine TO in this situation?!  He would have shipped out so fast or would have ran his mouth off until they did trade him.  Although it would have been nice to get this done earlier, say before Calvin Pace signed with the Jets, but it now gives the Cards some breathing room in the cap to make a move or two if they so desire.  Real glad to see this go down.

I agree JBANK, not too often do you see finances pushed to the back burner.  Money too often breaks up teams, and their chances of winning the Super Bowl because of selfishness.
