Q: Hey Roy. I hear all this talk about Larry Fitzgerald being unhappy in Arizona and the possibility of a trade. What do you think it would take to snag him? Is this year’s first-round pick enough? (It would seem like a no-brainer on the Bucs’ part to use the pick for a known quantity at receiver rather than take a chance on a young guy.) Or would it require the pick PLUS someone else? Would the pick plus Chris Simms be attractive enough?—Paul Rybinski, Lawrenceville, N.J.
A: I think that first-round pick would be very attractive. The problem is Fitzergald’s salary and cap number are not attractive at all. Fitzgerald is due to earn $14.6 million this year and $17.4 million in 2009. Throw in the proration on his original signing bonus and you’ve got a cap hit of $20 million. It’s just too much. That and the fact the Cardinals really aren’t interested in trading Fitzgerald is why no one will get him in a trade. He’ll be staying in Arizona.
