Larry Fitzgerald does yearly sidestep of retirement discussion

“I don’t give it much thought. I told you before, I stay in the moment. The career will end. When it ends, it ends.”

The Arizona Cardinals play their final home game of the season this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. As such, receiver Larry Fitzgerald was peppered with questions about his future in the NFL by reporters on Thursday when he spoke with the media.

As always, he deflected and sidestepped every attempt to try and even get a hint of what his decision might be.

“I’m just taking it one day at a time,” he said. He says he hasn’t given it any thought.

This Sunday’s game might be his final home game. He acknowledged that.

“It could be, you never know,” he said. “I don’t give it much thought. I told you before, I stay in the moment. The career will end. When it ends, it ends.”

In the meantime, he will continue to prepare for each game, focusing on the process. He is good at keeping things focused on the present.

“In terms of the future, that’s something I’ll address later.”
