Larry Fitzgerald said before the season he knew something had to be done with his $23.6 million salary cap number for 2015. The wide receiver didn’t talk about it specifically during the season — or right after the Cardinals were eliminated in the playoff loss at Carolina — but his mindset clearly hasn’t changed.

“This is the only place I have ever played,” Fitzgerald said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN’s “NFL Live.” “I have enjoyed my time in Arizona. Working for the Bidwill family has been great, playing for the Cardinals. Hopefully we can get something done. The business part of football is not something I always enjoy, but it’s something we need to address.”

The question posed to Fitzgerald was whether he would be playing for the Cardinals this season, and obviously (and smartly) Fitzgerald didn’t answer it directly. He wouldn’t want to give up any leverage he has during contract talks. But there remains optimism around the team that there can be something worked out to keep the multi-time Pro Bowler around. Either way, with the Super Bowl descending on Arizona very soon, my guess is this isn’t the last time Fitzgerald speaks on the subject.
