Larry Fitzgerald moved pretty quickly on restructuring his deal to give the Cardinals some cap relief. He was slated to have an $18 million salary cap hit and there were some whispers about the team cutting him. It looks like Cardinals fans don’t have to worry according to Larry himself:
Back in AZ from #SB48 & the 1st order of business this AM was signing a restructured contract to help the @AZCardinals get better for 2014!

We are still waiting on final numbers so we don’t know if he took a pay cut or just pushed some money to the back end of the contract. Either way he gets his money still.
I guess he wants to help the Cardinals take the next step.
