"We'll see what's going on this off-season...but right now my attention is solely focused on Seattle Saturday," Fitzgerald told Fox Sports 910.

Cardinals general manager Steve Keim recently told AZ Sports 98.7 that he expects Fitzgerald to return next season.

"As far as Carson [Palmer] and Larry, the conversations I had with them in training camp I would be surprised if they didn't come back," Keim told AZ Sports.
