At a time when some have wondered whether this would be Carson Palmers and Larry Fitzgeralds last season, Arizona has extended the contracts and careers of both players.The Cardinals announced one-year contract extensions for Palmer and Fitzgerald on Friday, tying the quarterback to Arizona through the 2018 season and the wide receiver to the team through 2017.The total deal for Palmer will be just over $24 million, ?a source told ESPNs Dan Graziano. He will get a $6.75 million signing bonus and a new $2 million roster bonus,?plus $15.5 million in salary and bonuses fully guaranteed in 2017. Before the extension deal, none of his money for 2017 had been guaranteed.?His 2018 salary will be $12.5 million plus a $1.5 million roster bonus, none of which is guaranteed, according to the source.Clearly these are two core members of our team who have played major roles in our success, said Cardinals general manager Steve Keim in a statement. Each of them had contracts that were due to expire in the next year or two so these extensions provide a measure of certainty and clarity for the players and organization, both now and in the years ahead. It also reaffirms our long-stated intention that when the time comes, these two great players end their stellar careers as Cardinals.The deals came one day after Arizona signed defensive back Tyrann Mathieu to a five-year, $62.5 million extension, with $21.5 million guaranteed at signing.The Cardinals wanted to keep the core of their team together for as long as they could, and these extensions will enable them to do just that. Palmer is 36 and Fitzgerald turns 33 this month, but they have played as if theyre in the prime of their careers.Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell called the news about Carson great.You cant win without a quarterback in this league and Carsons been working hard. He looks like he found the fountain of youth. The guy never gets old. He just looks better and better each day. Going against him I just see his movement in the pocket. Its a big-time signing. I think thats really good for us forward. It gives us a few more years of certainty, Campbell said.?Campbell also reacted positively to Fitzgeralds extension, describing the wideout as one of his idols.Thats a guy Ive always looked up to and I have so much respect for. Hes been my role model since Day 1. He let me in on the secret a couple day earlier so I knew about that one for a couple of days. Hes just a great guy. Hes very deserving, Campbell added.Both players are coming off some of their best and most productive NFL seasons.Last season, Palmer threw for a career-best 4,671 yards and a career-best 35 touchdowns. ?Palmer joined the Cardinals in 2013 after being acquired in a trade from the Oakland Raiders. Since coming to Arizona, Palmer has a 29-9 record as a starter, including a 19-3 mark over the past two seasons.?A Heisman Trophy winner at USC, Palmer was the No. 1 overall pick by Cincinnati in the 2003 draft.Fitzgerald caught a career-high 109 passes for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns.?Entering his 13th season in Arizona, Fitzgerald was originally taken by the Cardinals as the third overall pick of the 2004 NFL draft out of Pittsburgh.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.?

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS -- Daniel Ricciardo refused to be too downbeat about qualifying fifth in Belgium after a strategy gamble narrowly paid off in Q2.Ricciardo set his quickest Q2 time on the soft tyre, which the regulation state must be the race tyre for those who make it through to Q3. However, that decision saw him drop down the timing screens in the last moments of the session as others improved, though he ended up finishing 0.3s clear of the drop zone.The Australian admitted those final moments of the session made for uncomfortable viewing.I was a little bit nervous but I told the team, because we set a target and I knew if I did a 48.0 it should be safe, he said. We calculated what the other cars could do. We believed that was okay. I said to the team, look we had already decided before the session that this would be safe, so lets stay in the box, and they wanted to stay as well.They were keeping an eye on everyone. My engineer said, right, we are not going to go out, just fingers crossed. And it worked. It was close but it was okay.A mistake on his first --- and quickest -- flying lap in Q1 ultimately cost him a place higher than fifth, with the late runs failing to yield any improvements.dddddddddddd Ricciardo does not mind his disappointing final grid position because he will start on the favoured race compound.Generally I am not that disappointed with qualifying. Id be more disappointed if I didnt make the softs work in Q2. Because we just got through with that, that was what I wanted to do. Of course better than fifth would have been nice, but fifth is still...if we are quick we can definitely still do something from there. It is where I started two years ago, so it can work if you are quick enough.Ricciardo will line up fifth, behind both Ferrari drivers, who will also start on the softs. Teammate Max Verstappen will line up alongside polesitter Nico Rosberg but will start on the more delicate super-soft tyre, meaning he will likely have to pit in the early stages of the race. ' ' '
