The Facts: Fitzgerald tells TMZ Sports he's excited to meet new Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury -- but there's one slight problem ... he might not be playing for him next season. Now that Arizona is transitioning to Kingsbury, TMZ asked the wideout for his thoughts on the situation. "Hell of a coach," Fitzgerald said. "Look at his resume. He's innovative offensively. That's somebody with a future right now. So, I'm excited for the chance to meet him."
Diehards Line:
The 35-year-old wide receiver will be a free agent in 2019 -- but has said if returns to the NFL, the plan is to remain a Cardinal for life. As for Kingsbury, Fitzgerald says the two haven't talked -- but they've exchanged text messages. And will Fitzgerald return? "I don't know yet. Taking time to figure it out still." Fitzgerald had played in the NFL for 15 seasons since being drafted 3rd overall in the 2004 Draft. He's been selected to the Pro Bowl 11 times. He led the NFL in receptions in 2005 and 2016 and in receiving TDs in 2008 and 2009. We'll see if he'll hit the field for another season soon enough.
