    Fitz is a game changer, the face of the franchise and a great team representative in the local community. You know he's not the type to have a contract change his work ethic or the way he plays the game. It's a safe signing for one of the top receivers in the game.

    Isn't it funny that re-sign and resign look so similar but mean something so completely different? Must be why they put a dash in re-sign.

    Cards are my team. Great sign just pray that Kolb gets the job done! Cards are a nice over pick for season wins (over 6.5 or 7 wins).

    Is this contract real life? For a Wr? Really?

    You know who is the most pissed off? The titan's GM, no way in hell will that situation get resolved soon when a Wr just pulled in 120 mil.

    this. and i hate he signed with the cards. i want him to have a ring. he is probably going to be a hall of famer and i hate that he prolly wont have one.
    really wish he would have held and sign with a contender.

    this x 100000000

    i've been saying it since last year, i'm really baffled how andy reid has hoodwinked a nation into being kevin kolb is the next great QB. can't wait til VY looks ok in a game or 2 this year and reid turns him into a 1st rounder plus a stud LB or something equally absurd

    Don't have faith in Kolb but I'd still wager he'll be a top 10 QB this year...just a feeling.

    This, good luck getting a deal done with Chris Johnson anytime soon unless it's at an avg of 16M+ and 6M+ guaranteed per year.

    Johnson deserves that much, he's the best player in the nfl probably. Why are u such a hater niceguy? I'd think you'd like to see young black men gettin money!! Larry Fitz is the best or 2nd best receiver in the game, don't see why this contract bothers u so much? Sure it's a big contract, but its only 50m guaranteed and lord knows the Cardinals can afford it.

    This contract baffles people because wide receivers don't win you superbowls.

    STUD WR's that catch 90 balls a year and work there ass off do though. See Jerry Rice.

    so say he gets 90m and 40m guaranteed, what's the difference? He's a great player and deserves to be paid accordingly fuck it.

    There's an expression a guy I did business with used to say "You're worth what they pay you". Underpaid or overpaid is irrelevant. It's a man's world, go get what you can. Think about how much the owners of the Cardinals are making if they can afford to pay Kolb and Fitzy like they just did. Good for him imo. Good for Jayson Werthless and Carl Crawford too lol. The both are hitting like .240 and Crawfords OBP is under .300. MONEY MONEY MONEY

    man, being huge cardinals fan, im not sure how i feel about this. i mean he is def the identity of the team, but we have tons of holes and i kinda wish we wouldnt have shelled out quite this much, but nonetheless the dude deserves it. The amount of plays he made in the 2008 playoffs alone was worth the dough.. what a ride we had, i will never forget it...

    He's a beast and deserves the money, as a cardinals fan, he is the only bright spot on the team since their super bowl run. Pay that man!!!
