As
previously noted, the Cardinals' latest proposal would make Fitzgerald the highest-paid player in team history and among the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the league. Assuming a new deal doesn't get done, current pact, the Cardinals would not have the cap space to do much in free agency, and GM Rod Graves has said, and some of their current players might be faced with taking pay cuts or being released. The Cardinals have made the point to Fitzgerald.
