Sources: Larry Fitzgerald Could Be Available Via Trade, But Only for 'Right Price' - NFL - NESN.com

The Pats are also equipped with two picks in both the first and second rounds of the draft, which would give them more than enough ammunition to acquire Fitzgerald if they'd like to explore that avenue. However, there aren't considered to be any franchise-caliber quarterbacks in the 2011 draft class, so the Cardinals might not be overly interested in anything the Pats would have to offer.



Fitz seems like a perfect fit for the Pats, guy has extreme talent along with a great attitude on and off the field, I know its highly unlikely Pats trade for him, but it would be awesome.

I think I just came.

I was under the impression players can't be traded until there is a new CBA, or unless the NFL declares an impasse in the negotiations and declares the rules of their last/best offer to be the rules going forward.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the trading deadline passed back in October - and doesn't re-open until the new league year. The new league year coincides with the current CBA expiring (March 3). With no CBA - or unless the league declares an impasse prior to that CBA expiring - players cannot be traded.

So perhaps Fitzgerald can be had in a trade - and probably will be, given his contract situation - but until a new CBA is agreed upon this type of deal cannot be made.

I like Howe a lot, but unless I am incorrect on that (above), then he really should have pointed out somewhere in his column that this type of trade is contingent on a new CBA being in place first.

hahahaha.. Love it..


While I don't think it will happen, its a great line!

He's a perfect fit for every team. He's one of the top three WR playing currently. Lol

I hope for the sake of the womenz in your life that you are not always this premature.

But if Larry does get traded to NE, I will join you. Well, not with you. But at the same time, certainly.

BRING HIM TO NE, Billy.

I agree but when your talents are going to waste as his are is AZ, he is a better fit for the Pats with a QB like Tom Brady.

An addendum to post #3 - and any and all other trade speculation:

Twitter / Jeff Howe: Correct, but could change ...

"I thought there couldn't be any trades without a CBA after a certain date in March"

"Correct, but could change"

He's wasting his career in Arizona. He should want to come here for a discounted contract so he can help himself and us get a Super Bowl ring . . . or two . . or three

I'm not really even sure this "report" means anything. Everyone is available for "the right price." Tom Brady is available for "the right price."
