Next up? Larry Fitzgerald.

Graves said Fitz will be highest paid player in team history. One of the highest paid in the game.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet Reply

With the way Somers puts it, a deal seems all but done.

After all, Fitzgerald has expressed a desire to stay in Arizona, and the team has shown their commitment to winning over the last week. That should help alleviate any concerns the Pro Bowler may have had about sticking around, and as long as the Cardinals are willing to pony up the cash then all should be good.
