Could the Arizona Cardinals move one of their running backs?

They signed Tyler Allgeier to a two-year contract in free agency. They drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall last month. They still have James Conner, who agreed to a restructured deal for 2026, and former third-round pick Trey Benson is still on the roster.

ESPN's Mike Clay believes Conner and Benson need new teams.

He names a few teams who could be interested:

Washington Commanders
Indianapolis Colts
Dallas Cowboys
Cincinnati Bengals
Green Bay Packers
Kansas City Chiefs
Cleveland Browns

Conner has a $2.355 millilon salary in 2026 with $2.1 million of it guaranteed. He is coming off a nasty ankle injury last year but has been consistently productive in the league. Benson, a promising young back, couldn't get back on the field after suffering a knee injury.
