New York Giants linked to potential trade for veteran RB James Conner
Summary

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the New York Giants have emerged as a candidate for a trade involving Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner. The Giants, having opted to bolster their offensive line and defense in the draft, still face questions about their running back depth behind Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy. Conner, a two-time Pro Bowler, may be available following a season-ending injury and the Cardinals' recent draft strategies. ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests the Giants could benefit from adding a reliable veteran to their backfield, especially since trading for Conner may only require a Day 3 draft pick.
