NFL Notes: Larry Fitzgerald, Bills, Broncos, & Chiefs

Larry Fitzgerald

Cardinals veteran WR Larry Fitzgerald isn’t sure if 2016 will be his final year in the NFL.

“Honestly, I have no idea,” Fitzgerald said, per Darren Urban. “I really don’t look at it like that.”

Bills

Bills GM Doug Whaley mentioned during an interview with WGR Sportsradio 550 Tuesday morning that they aren’t currently looking to add any free agents to their roster, even after the injuries to rookie OLB Shaq Lawson and WR Sammy Watkins.

“We always keep our options open. We never say never,” said Whaley, via BuffaloBills.com. “We haven’t reached out and contacted anybody right now. We’re looking at the development of the guys we have on the roster and some of the young guys. But we always keep our options open and our pro personnel department headed by Rob Hanrahan, those guys always keep me abreast of who is out there and we continually update what we call our short list.”

Whaley was asked specifically about the possibility of signing someone like WR Anquan Boldin or OLB Dwight Freeney. 

“We want to see what we have and the development of the guys on the roster in the OTAs,” Whaley said. “Guys like that we look at as consummate professionals. They’re always going to be in shape and if the time comes where we think the guys aren’t progressing like we need them to that’s when you look at a guy like Anquan Boldin or a Dwight Freeney, but right now we want to develop some young guys with an eye on the future saying those guys are out there if for needs sake we need to pick them up.”
