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.?

"They scratched me for a lot of reasons," Norris said. "Its a little unfortunate. I wanted to go out there and pitch, but I understand theres a lot of stuff swirling around me." Lucas Harrell replaced Norris as Houstons starting pitcher against the Baltimore Orioles. "Its one of those things, from an organizational standpoint, you have a guy that has attracted a lot of interest from other ballclubs, and you look at the trading deadline looming," manager Bo Porter said. "It just made more sense to not risk injury at this juncture of the conversation, because the conversations have gotten a little deeper." With the deadline of Wednesday at 4 p.m. drawing closer, it was possible Norris had pitched his last game for Houston. "I dont know. I dont want to put any numbers on it," Norris said. "Everybodys speculating, and where I could go, stuff like that. But its really out of my hands. Its for the GMs and the front offices to decide. I just want to play baseball, for wherever I am. And right now Im still an Astro, and thats where my focus is." And if he isnt dealt? "If he doesnt get traded, yes, hes available to pitch (Wednesday) because the trading deadline would have passedd by 7 oclock tomorrow night," Porter said.dddddddddddd Norris is 6-9 with a 3.93 ERA in 21 starts with Houston. His six wins are tops on the club and his $3 million salary is the highest on the rebuilding Astros, a major league-worst 35-69 at the start of the day. "I guess I was a little surprised by it, but I understand the reason behind it," Norris said. "Ive been talking to my agent about it, and he understands why as well. So you have to go with it. Theres nothing I can do. I cant complain about it." Norris, who started opening day for the Astros, is one of the teams biggest stars. Thats why hes the topic of trade talk around the league. "Its a credit to Bud Norris," Porter said. "When multiple teams are after your services, it speaks volumes to what it is youve done in the game of baseball and what other people think about you." Orioles manager Buck Showalter originally planned to start eight left-handed batters against Norris. Left-handers are batting .306 against Norris this season. Instead, Showalter shuffled his lineup for Harrell. "Harrells pretty good. Hes been starting for them all year," Showalter said. "Does it make (Norris) more valuable by pulling him out, knowing you can start him the day you get him? Are you getting better players back because hes ready to pitch right then? I dont know. Thats their business." ' ' '
