Maybe it’s fate. Impending free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins posted to his Instagram that he “ran into” Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald at the airport.
There’s actual photo evidence of the encounter.
And, the good part is Fitz must have been trying to recruit Cousins to Arizona, per his caption. Why not, right? A coincidental meeting between the two was the perfect opportunity for Fitzgerald to get into Cousins’ ear.
It just so happened that both were at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The Cardinals would certainly benefit by signing the most-coveted free agent quarterback. But in terms of cash, the Cardinals would have to figure out how to afford Cousins. Arizona has just $23.2 million in available cap room heading into free agency.
