Cards probobly laughed out loud when they saw that, a 1st and 3rd for the best WR in the game. riiiiiight.

Cards should offer a 3rd and a 7th for nnamdi, then pft could write and article the nnamdi was alomst a cardinal.

What’s really important, is that no offer was ever accepted.

If the Cardinals win the game tomorrow, Fitzgerald will be a big part of that….guaranteed!

Probably on at least one more RB with a bad case of fumble-itis. They can never have enough of those. Or used them to trade up for the next year to get Tebow.

It’s weird but the receivers he had in Washington are still in the league as are most of the Vikings WR’s and he isn’t. Once his legs and his ability to avoid rushers left him it was over.

Everyone said he was full of crap. I guess he wasn’t full of crap.

I’d like to bend her over a barrel and show her the 50 states.

It all worked out in the end, but I’d still trade DJax and Maclin for Larry Fitzgerald, even though I think Maclin is the most underrated WR in the NFL. Maybe, hopefully, on Sunday, we can show Larry he made a mistake resigning with ARI.

I got it at 24-13, PHI
