1. New England Patriots
Some call it New England, others refer to it as a meeting place for veterans nearing the end of their careers who want to make one more run at the Super Bowl. Fitzgerald fits that bill, and even a 37-year-old Tom Brady might be the best quarterback he’s ever had a chance to haul in catches from.
With a revolving door under center for the Cardinals, Fitzgerald was still the best receiver on the team. The Patriots’ offense lacked a receiver of his caliber, having to rely on big plays from tight end Rob Gronkowski and smaller pickups from Brandon Lafell and slot receiver Julian Edelman.
If New England releases Danny Amendola, it’ll have more than enough money to lure Fitzgerald into town. The Patriots’ window is closing as Brady gets up there in age, and having Fitzgerald at his disposal increases the team’s chances of remaining a top seed in the AFC, not to mention add a much-needed element to the passing game that’s been lacking since Randy Moss left town.
