“Neither one has come to a decision. It’s up to them.
Fitzgerald is still a very good fantasy wide receiver. He finished 2016 as the 12th-highest-scoring receiver with 203 points. Palmer wasn't as good, finishing 21st at his position with 269 points. At auction, Fitzgerald is still worth around $20, give or take a couple bucks. Palmer, at this point in his career, isn't worth double-digit salary numbers. And if you have him, he's not worth extending because of the possibility of retirement.
On Opening Day, Fitzgerald will be 34-years-old and Palmer 37. Neither number is out of line to continue their careers.
From a team standpoint, Arizona can't really afford to lose either player because replacements are not already in place. Michael Floyd was cut after an arrest late in the season and when Palmer is out, there isn't a quality back-up. For a team that struggled last season and missed the playoffs, losing both is a killer.
