Welcome to the Saints, Larry?
 
Larry Fitzgerald hints at playing elsewhere in 2017 | ProFootballTalk

Drew to Larry would be a sick combo. :bng:

This guy can almost write his own ticket for any team he wants. However the clock is ticking for him, he needs to find a team that's on the threshold. If he doesn't get the right team it's pretty much "thanks for the memories".

No thanks he would just affect Snead and imporantly Thomas's volume.

We don't need him, we've already got the best WR set in the NFL...

What we need is a blocking/occasional pass catching tight end like Ben Watson - ideal complement...

6th ranked O-line... okay.

We do need younger talent, but the O-line is not broke.

"Fix" meaning ... Saints can't continue to make moves like drafting a left tackle in the 1st and trying to force him to play on the right side. We also need two dominant GUARDS. Armstead is dominant when healthy & Unger is solid. I never said the line was broke.

6th ranked O line? ... Brees makes this Oline (at least statistically) appear far better than what it truly is.

Larry is a great player, but one that is possibly declining. Take a look at his yards per reception, it is at 9.7. His average last year was 11.1, and 12.8 for his career. Of course several things could be factoring into these numbers, I don't watch Arizona enough to know much more than what I see in the stat sheet on him.

The O-line needs an infusion of youth. And you can't tell me that any one is satisfied with Kelemete or Lelito as starting guards. Yeah yeah I know that Peat is the starting left guard but that is only when Armstead is healthy, which of late hasn't been that often. We are lucky that both Strief and Evans had a bounce back year. We can't count on that again.

Actually our O-line looks like it falters in the second half and isn't as good as they were earlier in the year. So.....yes we need new talent and youth along the offensive line and better depth. Oh yeah, Unger ain't no spring chicken either and our backups are all UDFA's. You can't build a line like that.

Larry Fitzgerald is one of my favourite all-time players in the league. A consummate professional that can do it all.
With all that said I still don't know if it would be a wise move to add him to the mix. We got 3 great WRs in Cooks, Thomas and Snead. And a decent one in the improving Coleman at the 4th spot. I don't see what spot Larry could fill really at this stage of his career.
