GLENDALE, Ariz. - Larry Fitzgerald and the Arizona Cardinals are nearing a deal that would allow the wide receiver to finish his career with the team, according to multiple reports.
Cardinals president Michael Bidwill has said restructuring Fitzgerald's current deal, which would allow the 8-time Pro Bowler to make $16 million next season, was a top priority for the team.
The details of the agreement are yet to be known, though Bidwill said last week he hoped to acquire a free agent with the salary-cap space freed up by a potentially restructured deal for Fitzgerald.
According to Pro Football Talk, the Cardinals will keep nearly $13 million in cap space originally set aside for Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald, 31, has spent his entire 11-year career in Arizona, and enjoys the franchise's all-time marks in all major receiving categories, though last season suffered his lowest receiving yards since his rookie year (784) and only catching two touchdowns.
