The Facts:
Prior to Sunday's game against the Falcons, ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that Fitzgerald would be available for a trade this offseason, should a deal not be struck before the NFL trade deadline hits Tuesday. Fitzgerald responded Sunday with four catches for 48 yards and a touchdown, and then responded to the rumors following the contest. "If they decide to move me, that happens," Fitzgerald said. "I have no control over any of that. I just focus on what I can do to improve and help my team."

Monday morning, Cardinals GM Steve Keim left no doubt about the organization's feelings on Sunday's rumor. "I can tell you two things, and I want to make this clear and simple," Keim told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 Monday. "I have not had one conversation with another NFL team regarding a trade with Larry Fitzgerald. Number two, starting with Michael Bidwill down, it is our intent for Larry Fitzgerald to retire a Cardinal, period. If there was any grey area there guys, let me know, and we'll get it out. ..." Declining production, along with an astronomical salary cap hit of $18 million has fueled the discussion about Fitzgerald's longevity in Arizona. Keim suggested the team is prepared to deal with the cap number without giving specifics. The trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. eastern.
