Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians tried to convince ex-Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald to join the team after wideout Chris Godwin suffered a season-ending torn ACL last December, but the 11-time Pro Bowler declined the opportunity.

Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic relayed the remarks from Arians’ appearance on 98.7 FM Arizona Sports’ Wolf & Luke Show:

Interesting to hear Bruce Arians on Arizona Sports 98.7-FM just now on the Wolf & Luke Show say he reached out to Larry Fitzgerald this past season when Chris Godwin got hurt. Fitz told him he “couldn’t run two plays right now” if he tried. Thanks, but no thanks. Wow.

Fitzgerald played for the Cardinals from 2004 to 2020, and he’s destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame after a decorated career that also included 17,492 catches and 121 receiving touchdowns.

He did not re-sign with Arizona after the 2020 season, and while Fitzgerald has not officially retired, he made clear to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss in February that his playing days are over.
