Larry Fitzgerald will return to Cardinals in 2018
The Arizona Cardinals will have a much different look in 2018 without former head coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Carson Palmer, but arguably the best player in franchise history is returning for a 15th season.
On Thursday, the Cardinals announced that Larry Fitzgerald has informed them he is not planning to retire just yet.
Larry’s back.
Get it?

Fitzgerald will be 35 before the start of next season, but he is coming off another extremely productive year in which he caught 109 passes for 1,156 yards and six touchdowns. He was also selected to his 11th Pro Bowl.
Last month, Fitzgerald indicated that whomever the Cardinals named as their next head coach would factor into his decision. Since he’s returning, that is a pretty good sign that he agrees with the team’s hiring of Steve Wilks.
