Cardinals consider trade for James Conner, Giants and Bengals interested
Summary

The Arizona Cardinals appear ready to trade running back James Conner, as they restructured their RB depth. Conner, who is 31 and recovering from a season-ending injury, has had back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons from 2023 to 2024. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests that a trade could occur by the 2026 NFL trade deadline. The New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals have been mentioned as potential suitors for Conner, who might face limited opportunities with the Cardinals. If no trade materializes before the season, Conner could become a valuable asset should injuries arise in the league.
