NFL executives reportedly believe longtime Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will retire rather than return for an 18th NFL season in 2021.
According to Mike Sando of The Athletic, execs believe Fitzgerald will choose retirement "rather than rejoin a receiving corps now headlined by DeAndre Hopkins."
With Hopkins and Christian Kirk ahead of him in the pecking order last season, the 37-year-old Fitzgerald finished with career lows across the board, recording 54 receptions for 409 yards and one touchdown.
Fitzgerald is a free agent, and he has given no indication that he would want to play for a team other than the Cards.
