Over the weekend, some media reports surfaced that the Eagles had made trade offers in an attempt to pry Larry Fitzgerald away from the desert. It's not happening. A league source said Saturday night that the Eagles have talked to the Cardinals about Fitzgerald, but the discussions have never gone beyond an inquiry as to whether Arizona planned to trade its star wide receiver. The answer has always been the same - absolutely not. The story, however, has not gone away, and that's because the Cardinals have not been able to restructure Fitzgerald's contract, which is worth $14.6 million in 2008 and $17.4 million in 2009, thanks to some ill-advised escalator clauses that Arizona inserted in the receiver's rookie contract.

It is just like many said on here. He is not going to redo a contract that gives him 31 mil over this year and next..And neither would I. Without a redo, there is no trade. End of this story..

Leave the Dessert for a city that smells like a bathroom and leave fans that actually have some money to spend for meatheads that you can't understand what they are saying (yo Adrian) and are the worst fans in the world.

Fitzgerald is not crazy.

Philly fans booed Santa Claus and cheered when Michael Irvin was motionless on the field. Yes, they are the worst. Back to Fitzgerald, he's not going anywhere this year. The idioit who signed him to that contract needs to go somewhere if he hans't already.

Philly, don't prove his point for him.

March 10, 2008  07:53 AM ET

Don't feel bad, Phillyfoof..At least the Eagles are trying to move forward.

I was told that Fitz's contract was a problem and immediately assumed it was weak for taking care of him.

Ha Ha -- a mistake not made by the Jets, Dan Snyder or Bush.

You guys hate philly fans because we have passion. We booed santa claus because that guy was hammered and we cheered for irvin because he is a crac k dealer who sells it to kids. And Cowboys fans are the worst fans because if the cowboys aren't winning the cowboys fans go away. No matter what the Eagle fans are always there. And DirtyRoster you are just a **** idiot talking **** about philly. Philly has more history in it than any other city in the US and without it this country would have never been formed.

Yes, Irvin is a "crack dealer who sells it to kids". A man could have been paralyzed and fans were cheering. That's passion? You can have that passion if that's what you call it. And I'm pretty sure that Santa Claus wasn't the only guy hammered at that stadiumm. Please. You had a courtroom at the stadium! Philly fans ARE THE WORST.

Not true! Look at the attendance figures before your latest playoff run started (pre Andy Reid). They are awful. You guys are like every other fan in the country. As soon as things go bad, you are no where to be found.

March 10, 2008  08:18 AM ET

I was just told by the guy who gave me the information of the contract that he just doesn't know. Wow. Someone who admits ignorance.

Um...on de fanz you can't understand..and bathroom smell..Fitz is from PA. I think he went to Pitt.

Final two remarks on Fitz, I think he is a great receiver and his play supports that idea. Second, is it possible to assume that either Arizona assumed he was going to be a dud and wrote the contract overly rich. Or, could Arizona completely have lost control of figures?

If it is the latter, can I sign there?

Without Philadelphia this country wouldn't have been formed? The Revolution started in New England what kind of history do they teach you down there?

Without Boston we'd still be loyal to the crown of England and still suffering under taxation with no representation.

March 10, 2008  08:23 AM ET

British vs. Gang we elected in Washington...hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm

Let me think.

Even if Fitz went to the stupid eagles, there would be no QB to throw to him. McNabb either throws in the dirt or 5 yards over the receivers head.

Their Royals go to fight in their wars.They have socialized medicine and gun control.

Is McCain's son in Iraq? I heard he was but I don't know.

Then we have Clinton and Obama's service record.

i see some people are drinking haterade here. Eagles fans are the best and passionate there are

March 10, 2008  08:38 AM ET

Philly fans fall are like New York fans.....obnoxious, but the difference is this: at least NY fans know what they are talking about. Get into a sports debate with Philly fans, and you find yourself talking to block-heads. You booed when McNabb was drafted, and you boo your own team even in the FIRST quarter of a game! And when fans physically abuse people in your stadium you all think it's funny. Yeah, tell me all about your passion.......
