NFL: WR Fitzgerald and Cardinals agree on new 4-year deal

 
The Arizona Cardinals and All-Pro wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald have agreed on a new deal that will keep the talented receiver in Arizona for awhile. The deal the Cardinals and Fitzgerald signed is for 4-years and is worth $40 million - the deal will free up much-needed salary cap room for the Cardinals. Fitzgerald will make $33 million over the first 3 years of his contract - he was scheduled to make close to $15 million in 2008. The deal will allow the Cardinals to sign much needed roster players with the $9 million it saved in cap space for the 2008 NFL season. Fitzgerald, who was the 3rd overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft , caught 100 passes for 1,409 and 10 touchdowns during the 2007 NFL season. ShareThis [link]
