Is Larry Fitzgerald going to go ring chasing to finish off his NFL career?
No one would blame the veteran wide receiver for trying to win a Super Bowl ring before hanging out his cleats after a long career with the Arizona Cardinals, and there is now growing speculation that he could be looking to do just that.
In recent days, reports have surfaced that Fitzgerald could be looking to join Tom Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he would reunite with former head coach Bruce Arians.
There is still a possibility that Fitzgerald could return to Arizona or retire, but the Buccaneers are a very intriguing option.
From Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk:
At a time when the Bucs have managed to keep the band together (for the most part), the push to send Fitzgerald into retirement with a ring could provide further insulation against the complacency that can derail a quest to repeat. Although having Brady around naturally reduces that risk, having Fitzgerald in the locker room could inject even more meaning into the Buccaneers’ quest to become the first team to repeat since 2004, which also happened to be Fitzgerald’s rookie season.
It will be interesting to see whether Fitzgerald values his ties to Arizona enough to finish his career there or hang it out instead of joining another team, or whether finishing his career with a Super Bowl ring is more important.
Either way, Fitzgerald has had a remarkable NFL career and has earned the right to do whatever he feels is best for him.
