New York Giants consider trade for RB James Conner from Cardinals
Summary

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the New York Giants are evaluating their roster and have identified Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner as a potential trade target. Despite being a reliable performer with over 6,000 rushing yards and multiple seasons over 1,000 yards, Conner is coming off a significant injury and has just one year left on his contract. The Cardinals have added talent to their backfield, creating a crowded situation that may lead to a trade. The Giants, lacking running back depth after a quiet offseason, might see Conner as a low-risk addition if he demonstrates a full recovery in training camp.
