Rumor:Fitzgerald wants to leave when his rookie contract ends.Should niners pick him

[JTE49ER]

hey just read Fitz want to leave AZ at the end of the year when his contract is up because he does not like the run based offense AZ is running.
If niners pick him up how much is he worth and do you think he will fit in.

edit-he has already been extended what are you talking about.

[ninerlicious]

right, like our offense is a pass happy one. i'm sure he'd be thrilled to play here.

[PowerfulDragon]

eagles should grab him.

[Pound th' Rock]

link? I'd rather have Boldin.

[JANiners]

I would love this guy in a Niner Uniform, but if he doesn't like the Arizona run offense what would possess anyone to believe that he would want to play in Mike Nolans pathetic offenses.

[NinerRider]

link? I'd rather have Boldin.

Same here.

[r0b81]

I don't think he would want to play in SF where the WRS no longer get the ball. :hoppy:

[TMC]

I thought he signed a 6 year deal in 2004. I am sure they did not give him $20M in guaranteed cash for a 4 year deal.

[Pound th' Rock]

Wow. If that's true I'd do everything humanly possible to lock him up to a long-term contract.

[NortyFiner]

If he's available, I think we should at least look into it. Maybe he can give us the Cardinals' signals... :spy: :wink: :laugh:

[Blue Bird]

He can be yours for the low, low price of 2 first rounders. No way in hell Arizona doesn't tag him.

[Ace Matherton]

That was from probably the worst football "rumor mill" site on the web (you know the one PFT and now all the "rumor" sites are taking to it). Its all over the boards of various sites now. Its pure speculation based on the fact that Fitz has publicly stated he is not in favor of the new offense, also in the blurb was the speculation that since he has a clause in his contract with massive escalators that if the cards dont redo his deal it makes it nearly impossible to keep him especially with boldin also set in a long term contract. The article also said the Vikings would be the destination based soley on the fact he once was a ball boy.

To put it simple we are two weeks into the season and already the irrational and piss poor journalism has started and the lemmings are clearly eating it up.

I'd count on PFT being correct about as much as i'd believe Ricky really did stop inhailing the sticky icky!.

[49er Fanatic]

I could see him going to a team like the eagles

[Blue Bird]

Yeah they might not keep him but I guarantee they dont let him walk for nothing.

Exactly.

[Captain America]

I don't think he would want to play in SF where the WRS no longer get the ball. :hoppy:

Yeah but at the same time most players think that they will change the way team's play. Especially WRs. Imagine if Smith had a big, tall WR that could go up and fight for the ball. His numbers would be a lot better.

Not to mention, Fitz surely knows the WR history the Niners have had and maybe he wants to fill the shoes of a Rice, TO, Clark, or Taylor.























one can only wish, right?

[101South]

I thought he signed a 6 year deal in 2004. I am sure they did not give him $20M in guaranteed cash for a 4 year deal.

I thought that too. I am surprised his contract is almost up.

[NortyFiner]

Maybe there's some contract clause that went into effect, or will go into effect?

[Trap_Star]

he and Dre would make a killer combo. :whistling:

[Heucrazy]

You guys are hilarious.

You can have Fitz the same year that Willis and Gore leave SF. :fortune:

[Heucrazy]

Oh and by the way that rumor is from the same site that said Denny Green was going to trade Boldin, Berry, Adrian Wilson, and first round pick to the Vikings for Randy Moss.

[FODY]

Yeah they might not keep him but I guarantee they dont let him walk for nothing.

...especially not to us. Or the Rams. Or the 'Hawks. He'll end up in New England like everybody else for a first rounder, a third rounder and a zoom lens.

[Wisconsin9erfan]

there isnt a team in the NFL that wouldnt want larry fitzgerald

that is probably true.... for the cardinals to give him up would just be not right.

[BrentJones84]

Maybe there's some contract clause that went into effect, or will go into effect?

It's possible there is an opt out clause, which wouldn't be uncommon in a 6 year deal.

And it's also possible the rumor means in two more years.

All the article says "when his contract ends" it doesn't specify any time soon.

[UserName]

I thought he signed a 6 year deal in 2004. I am sure they did not give him $20M in guaranteed cash for a 4 year deal.

if that's the case, fitzgerald will probably have nothing to worry about when his contract expires. Knowing the Cardinals, they'll have 3 different coaches by 2010. Maybe the last one will be Mike Martz.

Lets try to steal this guy. lol

[CSULB49er]

Steel?

even if he were to leave the Cards, he wouldn't want to come here, we pass even less.

[Niner Homer]

Give them D-Jack, Kwame and our first....now!: We can start him against Pittsburgh. :dance2:

[UserName]

Wrong forum

And already posted.

You're 2 for 2

so are the niners! yay!!:dancin:

[Jechtsphere]

If he does want to leave he probably wants to go somewhere where he can be the number 1 WR and not share the spotlight with Boldin, typical WR lol.

[Tracker]

My bet is that “IF” he heads out of AZ it will be to an AFC team. That is where the majority of the real FA talent heads these days.

i didnt ask for your opinion budah
nah juss playin ma bad dude i didnt see it posted

[Sum49er33]

:puppet:

I'm sure McCloughan & Nolan would more than LOVE to bring Fitzgerald in IF he hits UFA next off-season. That my friends is a big IF. Also, the way we've looked so offensively inept the first 2 games we aren't looking like such an attractive destination to Mr. Fitzgerald. Step it up guys, I believe in ya.:sflogo:

It's all about $$$. If we give him a fat contract, he'll come.

Fitz, D-Jax, Battle, and Hill
Don't forget TE is VD and RB is Gore.

WOW! :hyper:

That's true...

[ninersfan68]

YES....dambit

[fabie]

Frankly, we can have all the ALL PRO WRs in this league.....but if we don't use them, then it won't matter. In our current offense, we have VD, Delanie Walker, JB, Arnaz, Jason Hill, Lelie.........those are more than adequate to provide us a potent passing offense.

It is the our intent...our offensive line...our coaches.

[ninersfan68]

none of whom are as taleented as he is

You haven't been here long have you? :laugh:

[NinerCubBoiler]

there is no way in hell he would want to come here to *GASP* another power running team!

[JANiners]

What if in the offseason we got him and then if Alex continues to struggle we brought in Chad(About to get replaced) Pennington. Pennington is a leader and a very accurate passer if our o-line can help keep him healthy and young Alex can back up and learn from him. Offense having Fitz, DJax, Battle, VD and Gore with Pennington who spreads the ball around throwing. I don't know but it sounds interesting to me.:hide:

[flohtingPoint]

How about you guys take Matt Leinart instead. I have zero faith in this guy and fear for the future of my franchise with him at the helm. Its really bad when I liked Plummer or Dave Kreig behind center more than Matt.

Yeah it is bad. Your bad.

[flohtingPoint]

Yeah it is bad. Your bad.

One season Boldin and Fitz both had over 100 catches and 1400 yds, the next, Boldin had a pretty good season but 25 yds less per game, Fitz came nowhere near great. The main difference? Matt Leinart.

A trained chimp can toss passes to both Boldin and Fitz and make the Pro-Bowl. Matt makes ineptitude look easy.

[MadCardDisease]

PFT has to be the worst source of news on the Net.

Fitzgerald has been on tons of TV and Radio shows this week and has had nothing but glowing remarks about coach Whisenhunt and the offesne. Anyone that knows Fitzgerald and Boldin, would know that both players want to win a Championship and if that means less balls thrown there way then so be it.

Either way both players have at least two more years to go before becoming FAs and I seriously doubt that the Cards would just let them go.

Well I guess you're right. Especially with the countless WR's being sent to the probowl by rookie QB's every year.

I'd rather have woods back.

Indeed.

:rolleyes2: I swear the only people who bash the site have reading comprehension deficencies, here is what PFT wrote:

There's no indication that Fitzgerald, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2004 draft, plans to try to force his way out prematurely. Based on the escalators in his rookie contract, there was speculation when it was signed that the Cardinals would likely have to extend the deal after four seasons.

They go on to say, it might not be worth have 2 very highly paid WRs in a running offense, and the cardinals COULD opt to trade him, not that they will or is even likely.

[4evrnyt]

He can be yours for the low, low price of 2 first rounders. No way in hell Arizona doesn't tag him.

no way in hell Arizona lets him come to SF. no way in hell Arizona lets him go anywhere in the NFC West

[NJNiner]

the eagles could really use him. but they dont always make the smartest decisions it seems. the bears could also really use mcnabb.

[NJNiner]

kurt warner is also an excellent passer at times (makes some BIG mistakes), but he worked really well with good, big receivers.
(I believe he is second to only peyton manning to having the most perfect passer ratings in games ever)

....not fighting for kurt or against matt, im just saying he was a good match for that type of receiever

[NJNiner]

How about you guys take Matt Leinart instead. I have zero faith in this guy and fear for the future of my franchise with him at the helm. Its really bad when I liked Plummer or Dave Kreig behind center more than Matt.

plummer=underrated STILL ....even retired




and i will never back down from that

[flohtingPoint]

Well I guess you're right. Especially with the countless WR's being sent to the probowl by rookie QB's every year.

Anquan Boldin went to the probowl with Josh McCown tossing the rock to him, and McCown is equally as terrible, if not more so than Leinart.

You catch the Ravens game? Pulled Matt for someone who doesnt suck, ala Warner, and Kurt lit them up. Matt is dead weight, we are not going to make any progression with him behind center any time soon.

[SBbound49ers]

hard to have an offense when your QB can't throw 30 yards. not sure how the Jets do it.

Brian Scotheimer, their OC and son of Marty does a great job. He'll be a HC soon.

I'd rather have woods back.
