The Facts: Fitzgerald signed a one-year contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, the team announced. The new deal keeps the veteran wide receiver under contract through the 2018 season.
Diehards Line:
Fitzgerald has continued to be a steady, high-level performer for a Cardinals offense that has been significantly hampered by injuries to Carson Palmer and David Johnson. At 34, he's on pace for a third consecutive 1,000-yard season. Last week, he became the sixth player in NFL history to push past 15,000 career receiving yards. Heading into Sunday's game against the Houston Texans, Fitzgerald has caught 60 passes for 677 yards and three touchdowns in 2017.
