4. New England Patriots

The Patriots are a far-fetched landing spot for Fitzgerald, but any mention of Super Bowl contenders has to include them as long as Tom Brady is around. Making a big move to add a wide receiver is also not unprecedented for New England, with the trade for Randy Moss back in 2007 to give Brady some star power around him.

Fitzgerald could also quickly reunite with former Cardinals’ wide receiver Michael Floyd in New England, assuming the Patriots re-sign Floyd in the offseason. Resuming that mentorship role could be something Fitzgerald would embrace if Floyd gets his off the field issues in order and is receptive to it.

Some salary cap gymnastics may be required, along with some tough decisions on other players as well, but a marriage between the Patriots and Fitzgerald shouldn’t be totally ruled out.
