The Arizona Cardinals are considering trading one of their running backs to address a crowded position group. With James Conner, Tyler Allgeier, Bam Knight, Corey Kiner, Trey Benson, and Jeremiyah Love on the roster, recent changes in coaching under Mike LaFleur have shifted the offensive strategy.
