Hey guys, I was noticing Wilson and Fitz talking a bit during the probowl yesterday, and of course the connection on the field. I also saw a picture of the two of them eating dinner together. What do you guys think of the possibility of Wilson using the probowl as a chance to sell himself to other "big time" players?
Is he personally recruiting for the hawks, and how awesome would it be to get an elite reciever?
Anyone know how much longer Larry Fitzgerald's current contract is for?

Don't get your hopes up.
Fitz re-signed fairly recently... for mega-bucks.

Fitz signed his extension a year ago, so hes not a free agent anytime soon.

Wilson is a guy people gravitate towards, not surprised to see him mixing it up with anyone/everyone.
Given the season he had and the talk about whether or not he could be effective in the league, I'm sure a handful of guys wanted to give him props.

Wilson and Fitz have very similar personalities and go out of their way to help less fortunate people. People like that tend to gravitate towards each other so even though it would be great getting Fitz here, my guess is two games a year against each other is the closest they will come to being teammates.

In 2012 he was paid a total of $11.25 million in salary and bonuses with a $13.25 million cap hit. In 2013 he's scheduled to be paid $7.25 million witha $9.25 million dollar cap hit. from 2014 thru 2018 he will count between $15 and $20.25 million against the cap. To me, this says that Fitzgerald's contract is structured to be good for Arizona through the next season. Look for either a restructure or possible trade scenarios for him in the next off season.

I don't think we get Fitz - ever. BUT RW having fun and getting along great with super star WRs is good. Many of these guys are friends and just building that reputation as a star qb, a great teammate etc makes guys look at you and wanting to play here. Look at Denver this year Manning signs and suddenly good WRs want to be there. I think that as early as this FA class you will see that some guys are going to choose Seattle over other teams when the money is either the same or only slightly lower. Those guys would also choose NE, Denver, Indy and a few other places but they won't choose Oakland, KC, Browns etc.
To me being a part of this group can be huge - it can swing that one or two guys every year. Doesn't have to be the superstars but just that one option guy / "last season before I retire" kind of guy

Russell probably just picking Fitz's brain and getting trustworthy, level headed advice on what to do with $128 million... never hurts to be prepared...

Fitz seems to be like that with everyone; he always seems to be the old vet who welcomes the young guys into the league. Doesn't he run a camp or something for rookie WR's coming into the league where he teaches them how to be pros?
I wouldn't read too much into that pic.
The pic with Jarred Allen on the other hand....

Honestly, I'm not surprised that other players like Wilson...the guy really does seem genuinely likable. The kind of likability that he has transcends the game, it's just from the type of person he is in everyday life.

Fitz wants a ring, he's not going to try and hustle DangeRuss into going to Arizona.

It would be nice for sure, if it wasn't for the massive cap issues it would create.

I also heard him telling Brees (on TV) how he thought Gonzalez was all that and a bag of chips. Fitz & Tony G for a year or two? Jeezuz!
