There is great news for Arizona Cardinals fans. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is coming back! The team announced Wednesday morning Fitzgerald signed a one-year contract to return to the Cardinals for his 17th season.
In 2019, Fitzgerald led the team with 75 catches for 804 and he scored four touchdowns.
He reached second place all-time in the NFL in career receptions last season. With 1,378 career receptions, he is 172 catches away from breaking Jerry Rice’s all-time record. His 17,083 career receiving yards are also second place all-time.
His 120 touchdown catches are sixth all-time. He needs eight more to tie Marvin Harrison for fifth place.
In franchise history, only one player will have played more seasons for the team — quarterback Jim Hart, who played 18 seasons.
The terms of his contract have not yet been reported. He has made $11 million per year each of the last few seasons.
