The Arizona Cardinals have traded running back Corey Kiner to the New England Patriots for a 2028 seventh-round draft pick. The Patriots aimed to secure Kiner as they anticipated he would be claimed off waivers, with Kiner having previously played four games for the Cardinals as an undrafted rookie. Despite a solid showing with 58 rushing yards and two receptions, Arizona decided to move on after adding new talent to their running back room this offseason. Kiner, originally signed from Minnesota's practice squad after being waived by the San Francisco 49ers, will now join the Patriots later this season.
