Fitzgerald: 'If I'm not playing in Arizona, I won't be playing anywhere'

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald isn't planning to finish his Hall of Fame career with another team, even if it means retiring without ever hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

"If I'm not playing in Arizona, I won't be playing anywhere," Fitzgerald told Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I've built a good life for myself down there. Playing in the same place for 15 years is a true blessing."

Fitzgerald, who'll be 35 when the new season begins, is signed through the 2018 campaign but could then hit the free-agent market for the first time in his illustrious career.

Arizona has reached the playoffs just four times in his 14 seasons and appears headed for another rebuild following the selection of quarterback Josh Rosen in the first round of the 2018 draft.

The 11-time Pro Bowler will enter the year ranked third on the NFL's all-time receiving list, just 389 yards shy of Terrell Owens for second place. He's posted three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
