The Cardinals have made their preliminary contract offer to Larry Fitzgerald.
At six years, it'll probably have to be in the $50 million range to get Fitz to bite. At seven years, $60 million. Fitzgerald has extreme leverage with Arizona on the hook for his remaining base salaries of $14.592 million (2008) and $17.355 million (2009). The Cards' only way of avoiding those payments is by trading, releasing, or signing the 24-year-old Pro Bowler to a new deal.
