Despite star WR Larry Fitzgerald’s claims that he wants to remain a Cardinal, the organization and Pro Bowl stud have yet to agree on a contract restructure.  Such restructuring is crucial to Arizona’s potential successful free-agency signings.  Failure to work out such a deal may mean releasing a key player or two.
