For the Arizona Cardinals it was important to find a wide receiver to play opposite DeAndre Hopkins this offseason.
When that happened with the signing of A.J. Green the speculation on Larry Fitzgerald began immediately.
The reality is that Green signing doesn’t change much on Fitzgerald unless the Cardinals are finally going to look at Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella for what they are... slot receivers.
Green is primarily an outside wide receiver as his snap counts the last five years:
2015: 770 snaps wide, 145 snaps slot
2016: 459 snaps wide, 92 snaps slot
2017: 761 snaps wide, 86 snaps slot
2018: 358 snaps wide, 99 snaps slot
2020: 687 snaps wide, 131 snaps slot
Green is going to play outside opposite of Hopkins.
