On Friday, the agent for Alan Faneca blamed Fitzgerald's delay in re-doing his contract for costing the Cardinals a chance to land the well-regarded offensive lineman.
Rick Smith, Faneca's Chicago-based agent, said the day before Faneca signed with the New York Jets that, "Larry is going to cost them Alan Faneca. It's a fact."
Replied Fitzgerald, "In every situation, somebody has got to be the villain. I guess I'm that guy now.
But, he said, "In January, next year, when we're deep in the playoffs, this thing won't be an issue."
