Wed, 09 May 2012 06:09:23 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said that he feels badly for the New Orleans Saints players who were suspended as a result of the league's investigation into bounties; however, he doesn't think the league could sit by and do nothing when it learned of the Saints' bounty program. "I've known Jonathan Vilma for a very long time, and Will Smith actually hosted me on my visit to Ohio State in college," Fitzgerald said. "So I've known these guys for a really long time and they're not bad men by any stretch of the imagination. I feel bad that they're losing game checks and losing the opportunity to make a living. But I think Roger Goodell, our commissioner, had to do something to let everybody know that this is not going to be tolerated, and moving forward this is not something that's going to be acceptable."

Thu, 22 Dec 2011 05:31:25 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been impressed with QB John Skelton's poise and ability to lead the offense in crunch time. "(Tim) Tebow gets all the love. Skelton gets no love. John has done a terrific job. He finds a way to get it done," Fitzgerald said. "In the huddle, it's like sitting in there like a two-time Super Bowl champion.

Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:08:43 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald gave credit to the coaching staff in the team's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers for moving him around in the formations and allowing him to run routes out of the slot. "When you move me inside it makes it a little difficult to identify where I'm going to be and I can see where the doubles are going to come from," Fitzgerald said. "Also, John (Skelton) can see where the doubles are, so we can find the matchups."
Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:06:47 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had seven receptions for a season-high 149 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers. It was Fitzgerald's first score in three games, and the 100-yard effort was his first since Week 10.

"It's not like they're not calling my number," Fitzgerald said. "The ball has to go where the ball needs to be depending on the coverage. If (QB Kevin Kolb) forces the ball and (Baltimore Ravens SS Ed Reed) is over the top of me, time and time again, (Ed) makes people pay for those types of mistakes. The calls were there."
Sun, 30 Oct 2011 15:10:01 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald caught three passes for 98 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8.
Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:18:58 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald told CBs A.J. Jefferson and Patrick Peterson to be careful when it comes to exchanging verbal blows with Baltimore Ravens WR Anquan Boldin, Fitzgerald's former teammate, in Week 8. "He said, 'Don't say anything back to him,'" Jefferson said. "He's like (Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith), that kind of stuff fires him up. So if he says something, don't say anything back to him, just laugh it off."
Sun, 23 Oct 2011 18:22:47 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for 78 yards in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fitzgerald has managed 62 or more receiving yards in each of his six starts this season.
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:53:29 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald believes the struggles of the offense can be attributed to the lack of a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver, as WRs Andre Roberts and Early Doucet have not filled the void left by the departure of WR Steve Breaston (Chiefs), and WR Anquan Boldin (Ravens) before him. "Right now, teams are saying, 'Fitzgerald is over here, we're not going to let him beat us. We're going to do whatever it takes to hold him down and not allow him to do that.' In years, past, when I had 'Q', even last year with Steve, defenses approached it differently," Fitzgerald said. "There were times when I could find some (space). Now those times are few and far between."
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 08:14:17 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said he is concerned the team currently does not have a second wide receiver that can help relieve the focus he gets from opposing defenses. Right now, teams are saying, 'Fitzgerald is over here, we're not going to let him beat us. We're going to do whatever it takes to hold him down and not allow him to do that,'" Fitzgerald said. "In years past, when I had (Boldin), even last year with Steve (Breaston), defenses approached it a little differently. There were times when I could find some (space). Now those times are few and far between."
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:57:36 -0700 The Arizona Cardinals totaled 169 and 171 passing yards the past two games, which led to extra work during the bye week. "Our last three or four practices have been crisp," QB Kevin Kolb said. "We are doing some things that are a little bit unique and a little bit different." The team also explored ways to get the ball more to WR Larry Fitzgerald.
Tue, 04 Oct 2011 19:29:17 -0700 Arizona Cardinald WR Larry Fitzgerald agreed that his synchronicity with QB Kevin Kolb remains a work in progress, but "we're getting better." The duo combined for eight receptions and 102 yards in Week 4, but Fitzgerald wasn't satisfied. "We left a lot of plays on the field, too," Fitzgerald said.
Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:44:59 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had eight receptions for 102 yards in Week 4 against the New York Giants. The 100-yard was Fitzgerald's 28th of his career, breaking the franchise record held by former WR Anquan Boldin, now of the Baltimore Ravens.
Fri, 30 Sep 2011 21:11:45 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald did not have a reception, and he was targeted just once, in the second half of the Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks. However, it's because he is being double-teamed most of the time, and he needs others to step up and take off the pressure. "If I showed you the game plan, I mean there are tons of plays they're calling to try and get me the football. I think (QB Kevin Kolb) is doing a good job of not forcing the football," Fitzgerald said.

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:09:41 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had three receptions for 62 yards in the Week 1 win against the Carilina Panthers.
Sat, 10 Sep 2011 07:41:03 -0700 Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is seeking a pay day in line with the recently-adjusted market for star wide receivers. New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes signed a five-year, $45.5 million contract in late July before Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald signed an eight-year, $128.5 deal. Jackson's agent Drew Rosenhaus is eyeing a five-year deal that fits somewhere between the two, though much closer to Holmes money. The Eagles, however, do not appear to be near that ballpark and have yet to make an offer, according to a league source.
Sun, 28 Aug 2011 16:27:44 -0700 Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb threw his first touchdown as a member of the Cardinals Saturday, Aug. 27. He tossed 11 of 20 passes for 205 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown to WR Larry Fitzgerald.

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:33:57 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald's contract includes a stipulation that prevents the team from putting the franchise tag on him after this year, according to two sources.

The team has already started talks about a new deal with the star receiver.
Thu, 11 Aug 2011 23:00:12 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald caught two passes for 60 yards Thursday, Aug. 11, against the Oakland Raiders in preseason action.
Wed, 03 Aug 2011 22:27:31 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is happy with direction of the team, including the additions of QB Kevin Kolb and TE Todd Heap. He might be open to signing a long-term contract to remain with the team. "I have said everything I wanted about contract talks, I will be mum on it from here on out," Fitzgerald said. "It's my time to win (the) NFC West, that's my focus. It's between (general manager Rod Graves) and my agent from this point on."
Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:51:19 -0700 Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb and WR Larry Fitzgerald have developed an off-the-field relationship, and now they are trying to build an on-field rapport, too. The two sit near each other during team meetings and pick each other's brains. Kolb said he is already at the point that he expects Fitzgerald to come down with every pass sent his direction.
Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:52:41 -0700 The Arizona Cardinals plan to re-open contract negotiations with WR Larry Fitzgerald, who is in the final year of his contract. General manager Rod Graves said if Fitzgerald is sincere in his desire to remain with the Cardinals long term, the two sides should get a deal done before the start of the season.
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 10:21:05 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said the idea of him advising the team in their search for a quarterback is completely false. "There's not truth to that at all," Fitzgerald said. "I have no criteria. The two sides haven't even sat down and talked. I have not talked to any coach on staff for six months. I'm like everybody else scrambling to make this season a success." Fitzgerald also said he is confident that he will be able to work out a new deal to remain with the team.
Sat, 23 Jul 2011 10:55:02 -0700 When considering which quarterback to pursue when the NFL opens for business, the Arizona Cardinals will consider all of the typical factors as well as whether the deal will help them re-sign WR Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is entering the final year of his contract with the Cardinals, and his contract prevents the team from trading him or using the transition or franchise tags on him. As a result, the Cardinals will need to use a new quarterback and money as their ways to convince him to stay with them long term.
Sat, 23 Jul 2011 10:53:23 -0700 The Arizona Cardinals rate Philadelphia Eagles backup QB Kevin Kolb as the best quarterback available this offseason. However, obtaining him could be very expensive, possibly costing the Cardinals CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a draft choice or two. The Cardinals would then also want to sign Kolb to a long-term contract.
Sat, 09 Jul 2011 12:36:52 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said he has enjoyed his time with the team and hopes to remain with the team after his contract runs out. "I have one more year left on my deal, my job is to try to help the Arizona Cardinals win a championship and that's my focus. I would like to play there. I've enjoyed my seven years there. If they want to keep me they're going to have the first option to keep me. If they don't, then obviously I have to find employment elsewhere," Fitzgerald said.
Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:58:27 -0700 Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton, who has been mentioned as a potential trade target for the Arizona Cardinals, worked out Thursday, June 16, with WR Larry Fitzgerald in Minnesota.
