Legendary Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald did not play football in the 2021 season but never formally announced his retirement. He has said publicly he has not had the urge to play and elaborated on that last year.
While fans are still waiting for some formal announcement that doesn’t appear to be coming, his latest professional profile comes pretty close to announcing it.
Fitzgerald joined LinkedIn for his business ventures.
Excited join the LinkedIn community! Looking forward to connecting and sharing ideas together through the platform 🙌🏾 https://t.co/AaBTB7cicG

What he put in his bio is telling. He listed himself as a former athlete.

Cardinals fans may never formally get that retirement announcement. That doesn’t mean he isn’t retired. He clearly is, especially as he is now doing things like being the Executive Host for the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee.
However, it shouldn’t be far into the future when the Cardinals being him back to State Farm Stadium to be made part of the Ring of Honor and, perhaps, also to have his No. 11 retired.
