Could the Arizona Cardinals move one of their running backs?
They signed Tyler Allgeier to a two-year contract in free agency. They drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall last month. They still have James Conner, who agreed to a restructured deal for 2026, and former third-round pick Trey Benson is still on the roster.

ESPN’s Mike Clay believes Conner and Benson need new teams.
He names a few teams who could be interested:
Conner has a $2.355 millilon salary in 2026 with $2.1 million of it guaranteed. He is coming off a nasty ankle injury last year but has been consistently productive in the league. Benson, a promising young back, couldn’t get back on the field after suffering a knee injury.
His youth and the flashes he has shown on the field might draw interest, provided he is healthy.
We will see as the season approaches if any team shows enough interest for the Cardinals to move one of them.
