Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner is a potential trade candidate

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner has been identified as an early potential trade candidate as teams assess their rosters ahead of the NFL season. Following the signing of Tyler Allgeier and the drafting of Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals have a surplus of running backs. At 31 years old and coming off a significant injury, Conner has one year left on his contract and recently accepted a pay cut. His trade value may be higher compared to teammate Trey Benson. If he remains with the Cardinals, it is unclear how his role will be defined with Allgeier and Love expected to take the lead. NFL teams in need of a reliable veteran back, such as the Bengals and Giants, might consider acquiring him as the season progresses.
