Eight NFL playmakers in desperate need of a new home

Larry Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald is loyal to the bone to a Cardinals team that drafted him back in 2004. He is one of the hardest working and all-around genuine NFL personalities in the league.

The one thing missing before Fitzgerald finally decides to hang up his jersey is a Super Bowl ring. Fitz competed in one Super Bowl in 2008 when the Cardinals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Since, his team made the playoffs in 2009, 2014 and 2015. The Cardinals had an off-year in 2016 and missed the postseason. Fitzgerald will be 34 years old at kickoff this September, but his age has yet to creep up.

The veteran receiver was a rock star the last two seasons, tallying 216 catches, 2,238 yards and 15 touchdowns.  He is under contract for only one more year, so his window of opportunity to get to another Super Bowl with the Cardinals is starting to close.

The downside for Fitzgerald is Carson Palmer, whose performances regressed in 2016. Fitz would have a better chance at the big game catching passes from a guy like Brady.
