Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill knows it comes with the time of year — will receiver Larry Fitzgerald come back for another season or will he retire? “I know it’s one everyone’s mind,” he said in his appearance on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
However, he wasn’t able to break any news.
“I don’t have any news to report there,” he said when asked about whether he knew anything about Fitzgerald’s decision.
He is giving Fitzgerald his space and time to decide, although the two have had conversations. “I did get a chance to speak with him on the way back from the Super Bowl,” he said. “We rode back to Phoenix together and had a long discussion. Didn’t ask him a single question about this.”
His message to fans is simple — “let’s just be patient.”
However, there is one thing clear. Just as head coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the season, everyone wants Fitzgerald back for another season.
“You just want to let him take his time, be patient and I hope we’re able to see him in our uniform coming back this year.”
