Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Fitzgerald is entering the final year of a four-year, $40 million contract he signed in 2008. He said on Wednesday that he is "absolutely" hopeful that he can work out an extension with the Cardinals. Fitzgerald said "progress was being made" in contract talks between his agent and the Cardinals before the end of the NFL's business calendar on March 3. Contract negotiations for Fitzgerald or any other player cannot continue until NFL owners and players agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. Fitzgerald was asked on Wednesday if there was anything that would sway his decision to stay in Arizona. "If the Cardinals cut me or if they feel like they want to trade me," he said. "I don't have a choice at that point. I'd have to go try to find other employment. ..." It's safe to say that won't happen.
