Report: Larry Fitzgerald to retire after season
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is planning to make the 2016 season his last in the NFL.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Fitzgerald has decided he will retire at the end of the year.

Fitzgerald, a nine-time Pro Bowler, turned 33 a little over a week ago. He enjoyed one of his best seasons as a pro last year, hauling in a career-high 109 receptions for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Cardinals are a legitimate Super Bowl contender this season, and Fitzgerald would obviously like to go out with a ring. The veteran had an injury scare during training camp last month, but he appears to be healthy heading into Week 1. He’ll likely be a lock for the Hall of Fame.
