The Facts: We've spent the last few offseasons waiting for and eventually receiving confirmation Fitzgerald would return for another campaign. But we've heard little this offseason. GM Steve Keim spoke on the matter Wednesday and said the window remains open for Arizona to find a way to bring Fitzgerald back for 2021. Keim told reporters the start of the league year is not a deadline for Fitzgerald to decide on whether he'll return, per NFL Network's Omar Ruiz, adding the venerated pass-catcher deserves to make the call on his own time.
Diehards Line:The Cardinals have preached patience the last two months after Fitzgerald posted his lowest production totals of his career this season, catching 54 passes for 409 yards and just one touchdown as part of an offense that included younger pass-catchers DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk. It wouldn't be all that surprising at this point to learn Fitzgerald is hanging it up after a legendary career that will one day land him in Canton, as he was essentially relegated to a secondary role in Arizona's offense. For now, though, Fitzgerald's future remains unknown. Stay tuned.
