2. Minnesota Vikings
A Minneapolis, Minn. native, Fitzgerald could decide to end his career back with his hometown team. He’s already beloved in the city, not to mention was a ballboy for the team when Cris Carter was the star wideout.
The Vikings have a dire need for wide receivers, as Greg Jennings led the team in both receptions (59) and yardage (742). Cordarrelle Patterson is one of the more talented athletes in the NFL, but that athleticism has not yet translated into being an elite wide receiver. Fitzgerald could be a mentor to Patterson as well as youngsters Jarius Wright and Charles Johnson.
Teddy Bridgewater wouldn’t exactly be the best quarterback Fitzgerald has had to play with, but he’s an up-and-coming player who progressed steadily in 2014. The Vikings’ record doesn’t indicate just how vastly they improved, and with Fitz could very well be in the playoff hunt.
