According to NESN.com, Cardinals’ receiver Larry Fitzgerald could be available in a trade, although that doesn’t mean that “the team is actively trying to unload him.”
For the right price, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald could be available in a trade, according to league sources, but that doesn’t mean the Cards are actively trying to unload him.
In fact, no one polled for this story had any direct knowledge of whether the Cardinals have had any legitimate discussions about trading their star receiver, so take that for what it’s worth.
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.
So a player could be available at the right price, but his team isn’t actively trying to trade him. Uh, allllllllllllll right. Isn’t this true for a lot of players? If Team X is willing to give up three first round picks and two second rounders to acquire Player A from Team Z, I’m willing to bet that Team Z would consider that the “right price” for Player A as long as he’s not the face of the franchise. And even then…
What a weird report. It’s almost like NESN.com wanted to speculate about something – anything – so they threw this out there. Then when they “polled” their sources and came back with nothing, they discredited their own report.
In other news, The Scores Report has learned that Brett Favre will play for the Buffalo Bills next season according to league sources. That said, our sources have no knowledge of this report and therefore can’t confirm its truth. So take our Lord Favre-to-Buffalo report with a grain of salt. Because it may or may not be true. We don’t know. And neither do our sources. Grain. Salt.
