Trade: James Conner

Did Cardinals RB Trey Benson have an injury setback?

The Arizona Cardinals were a mess this past season concerning the running back room. Both starter James Conner and his primary backup, Trey Benson, became injured early in the season. What occurred next was that their RB3, Emari Demercado , was forced into the lineup as the new starting running back. His backups then became guys who were lingering on somebody’s practice squad and were suddenly needed to take significant snaps. RELATED: SUDDENLY, THE CARDINALS HAVE A RUNNING BACK PROBLEM The result? Of course, it was a mess. Part of the reason is that the offensive line was ranked #26. No team can be successful with an established run game without a very good line to open holes. With his 4.39 speed, Benson was drafted to complement the bruising style of starting RB Conner. In Week 3, Conner went down when he suffered a foot injury, to which Benson stepped in as next man up. However, in the following game against the Seattle Seahawks , Benson was also lost for the season with a meniscus injury. Benson was originally ruled out for 4-6 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery. Instead of taking over the starting RB role for Arizona , Benson joined Conner on IR. From this point on, Benson’s issues with his injury and rehab have been a mystery. What is going on with him? Where does he stand with his injury status? Is his goal to be ready for training camp? Week 1? This year? Benson had his opportunity to become an NFL starting running back after Conner was injured and then lost for the season. He had a great practice week, started the game, and then went down in the Thursday Night Football matchup after just eight carries and 37 snaps. It wasn’t known right off if the injury needed attention, but the next morning, Benson woke up at 5:00 a.m. with a swollen knee. He called the trainer, who then ordered an MRI. His 21-day window opened for him to return in early December. During this time period, the load was being taken care of by Demercado, Bam Knight , Michael Carter, and Corey Kiner . Knight also ended up on IR with an ankle issue. Kiner was signed off the practice squad of the Minnesota Vikings , while Carter had been sitting on the Cardinals’ practice squad. But Benson rushed his rehab. When Conner was announced to be out for the remainder of the season, Benson saw this as his chance to show what he could do at the NFL level after being a stud running back earlier at Florida State. Benson wanted to return, and he didn’t want to waste any time. When his window opened, Benson still wasn’t ready to practice, much less play a live football game. What was not revealed was that Benson had a setback during his rehab, and he didn’t divulge it. When his window opened, and he attempted to practice, the coaches noticed something was wrong. After an examination, they determined that the last thing he needed to be doing was playing football. The end result was that Benson was shut down for the remainder of 2025. Last year’s head coach, Jonathan Gannon, then announced: “We will not activate Trey Benson. (He) just hasn’t progressed to the point that he can go out there and play football right now.” Benson was asked about his rehab and the setback. He told Donnie Druin of Sports Illustrated : “I was feeling good. My window got open, I was feeling good — then boom. I think I was going a little too hard, and then I kind of had a setback. But I put that on me, though.” This meant he had to continue rehab during the offseason instead of coming off his rehabilitation sessions. With the various OTAs and minicamps, Benson was still not participating in regular drills. The Arizona coaching staff was continuing to manage his workload as he worked his way back to full strength. Instead of going through team drills, he was seen working with trainers off to the side. “I put it on me. I think I was going a little bit too hard, and I kind of set myself back. I just had a sense of urgency to get back.” Arthroscopic surgery to repair his m [... truncated ...]

The Cardinals’ “X” factor on offense, defense, and special teams for 2026

The Arizona Cardinals have expectations of not being one of the league’s worst clubs for a second consecutive year. GM Monti Ossenfort worked overtime this offseason to address the weak spots and bring in new players to replace those who left the team. Training camp is approaching, and the air will be very clear on the final 53-man roster, and who is in and who is out. The focus will then be on which players will fit best at all positions. RELATED: TIME TO THINK ABOUT MICHAEL WILSON There are many good-to-great players on this year’s roster, and still some problem areas. But there is one player on offense and defense, plus special teams, who can change the narrative and perhaps be the difference in games. Here’s the list: While most would point to the quarterback position as being the key component to success this year, the fact is, QB Jacoby Brissett is a roller coaster right now, and the starting position is up for grabs. The running game should be the main focus anyway, with the new guys, Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier , with a dose of James Conner thrown in. The offensive line is redesigned for the run game, and guys love to run block. This does cut down on the number of passes thrown. But the passing game still needs to be successful and prevalent when called upon. The ideal situation would be for the rushing attack to consume 65%-70% of plays. Whether that becomes true for each game will be determined as the season rolls along. The offense will get back to featuring two tight end sets. That requires two exceptional bodies to man the positions. The passing game needs to be the complement and not the focus. In order to do this, the offense will require qualified pass catchers. WR Michael Wilson had a breakout year last season. What was supposed to happen was that Marvin Harrison would be the darling of the receiver room. After all, name a college football accolade, and Harrison is displaying that award on his father’s fireplace mantel. The player who will be this year’s offensive “X” factor is receiver Michael Wilson. It is realized that the MVP of the offense will once again become TE Trey McBride . Nobody is disputing this. But it is Wilson who will become the juice to get the offense’s motor going. Harrison was supposed to have a couple of Pro Bowls by now, and did have a decent year during his first year in the league. But Harrison didn’t even make the NFL All-Rookie roster, and is having a problem staying healthy. He came to the desert as a huge playmaker, but is his health going to be an issue every season? Wilson was second on the Cardinals in pass receptions last year behind McBride. He had 126 targets with 78 receptions for 1,006 yards and scored seven times. The bonus with Wilson is that he is an outstanding pass catcher with size, but he is also an excellent blocker. A lot of receivers act like they are going to get in the way of a defender and only want to catch the ball, but won’t block. But Wilson is able and willing to do the dirty work. There are plenty of candidates for the defensive “X” factor. Both S Budda Baker and EDGE Josh Sweat fit this description probably more than any other players. With the defensive tackle position being a group with a bunch of new names, that unit should be considered solved as far as being able to stop the run. And this may continue all season. Linebacker may be a concern. Is Cody Simon ready to start this year? How will the new guy, Jack Gibbens , find his place? There are high hopes that rookie Karson Sharar will develop sooner rather than later. Can Zaven Collins finally become that All-Pro he was projected to be? The area that needs the most attention, however, is middle linebacker. Mack Wilson is the defensive “X” factor. The reason is that going into training camp, this group is viewed as a strength. Wilson was the team’s leading tackler until he became injured with a rib injury in Week 9. The Cardinals have the luxury of having some really good li [... truncated ...]

Trade: James Conner

If James Conner remains, he could improve his standing on a Cardinals’ list

James Conner restructured his contract to return to the Cardinals in 2026, but faces a reduced role behind newcomers Tyler Allgeier and first-round pick Jeremiyah Love. While Conner may be content with a limited role, he has also been linked to trade rumors with running back-needy teams. His future with the Cardinals depends on his willingness to accept a backseat role or pursue a trade

Cardinals CB Garrett Williams "for sure" has a chance to play Week 1

The Cardinals received "great news" on cornerback Garrett Williams ' recovery from a torn Achilles. "When I first got here . . . it was like an October/November [return], and now we're talking about getting into training camp and getting him going ," Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said, via Darren Urban of the team website. "He's put so much good work in. What a special human being he is, and what a really good player this defense was missing last year when he went down." Williams tore the Achilles in a Week 16 game against the Falcons, leaving uncertainty about how much of the 2026 season he would play. But LaFleur said "for sure" Williams has a chance to play Week 1. Running backs James Conner and Trey Benson , tight end Tip Reiman and defensive lineman Walter Nolen III will return during training camp

An offensive weapon the Cardinals should consider trading

When the Arizona Cardinals hired Mike LaFleur as their next head coach, they brought in a guy with proven offensive success, having run the same offense at several programs. While the OC of the Los Angeles Rams last year, their offense was ranked #1. That doesn’t happen by chance. It was LaFleur’s job to take the players supplied and meld a good offensive scheme and place players in position to become successful. LaFleur didn’t call plays, but did all of the other offensive coordinator jobs. RELATED: CARDINALS DRAFT JEREMIYAH LOVE IN ROUND ONE The running back room is busting at the seams with players – and talent. Most NFL clubs keep three running backs on their final roster. At times, a fourth athlete will be retained if they have become the club’s kickoff or punt return specialist, or have other special teams value, such as a designated gunner. Currently, the Cardinals’ running back room is as follows: James Conner (age 31), Tyler Allgeier (26), Bam Knight (25), Corey Kiner (24), Trey Benson (23), and Jeremiyah Love (21). Let’s face it: Kiner and Knight better find a usefulness on special teams. That leaves four players. Love will most likely become the new starting running back, and Allgeier is a talented runner who was once the Atlanta Falcons’ starter until they drafted Bijon Robinson in the first round. Allgeier was considered one of GM Monti Ossenfort’s big “splashes” in free agency this past March. Benson is still young, but unproven despite being a third-round draft pick in 2024. He had his opportunity to prove what he can do at the NFL level after Conner went down to injury in Week 3. But Benson only lasted a week until he suffered a meniscus injury in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that required surgery. That leaves Conner. Obviously, his age is the first notation. Not that he can’t contribute and produce into his 30s – he can. But he is also coming off a foot injury that eliminated his 2025 season. Don’t get this wrong: most foot injuries heal, and that’s about it. This type of injury isn’t lingering, such as a knee issue or Achilles tear. The point is coming. One of these will have to leave the desert. And since this is quite evident, the Cardinals should look into getting something in return. The first question is: Which player? One aspect of LaFleur’s offense will be the ability to run the ball. He requires it. He loves a running quarterback, needs a competent offensive line, good receiving help from several tight ends, and has to have exceptional running backs. Under former head coach Jonathan Gannon, the quarterback situation never became solved. The offensive play-calling was predictable and not consistent. After three years under Gannon and OC Drew Petzing’s tutelage, the offense was ranked at the bottom or middle of the pack in most categories this past season. Remember, Gannon was a defensive coach, so his focus seemed to be elsewhere, and the offensive production was a roller coaster as the team collected 14 losses in his final season. In the three years of Gannon and Petzing’s reign, the running game went from powerhouse to doghouse, while the passing attack improved each season. 2025: Total offense: #19 Passing offense: #7 Running offense: #31 2024: Total offense: #11 Passing offense: #18 Running offense: #7 2023: Total offense: #19 Passing offense: #26 Running offense: #4 LaFleur is a teacher. He wants his players to succeed on the gridiron, but mostly in life. His approach to the game, as well as his ability to teach concepts, invariably gets the best out of his players. His scheme is tried and true. It is based upon a heavy pre-snap motion with a wide-zone blocking rushing attack. Jet sweeps, bootlegs, play-action, short passes, simplicity for the quarterback, lack of penalties, several tight end sets, and getting holes for the running back to scoot through. He requires good pass-catching tight ends. He has to have accurate passers. He needs a solid offensive li [... truncated ...]

Cowboys news: Moves Dallas could still make this offseason

The Cowboys could certainly use a few more additions before the season starts. Trade for Jordyn Brooks The Cowboys did explore the idea of trading for the Dolphins linebacker, but those talks cooled off, a person familiar with the team’s thinking told The Dallas Morning News earlier this offseason. A trade for linebacker Dee Winters during the draft would make it likely the Cowboys’ interest in Brooks would’ve cooled off even more, right? Probably. But Brooks’ talent still bears watching. He was an All-Pro last season and a top-10 linebacker in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. Brooks is also entering the final year of a three-year contract. The Dolphins drafted multiple linebackers, including Texas Tech’s Jacob Rodriguez . Could that be enough to lower his value and make a trade easier for the Cowboys? Trade for RB James Conner Conner ran for over 1,000 yards in both seasons he overlapped with Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, who was Arizona ’s offensive line coach from 2023-24. A reunion would make sense, but once again — and say it with me — at the right price. Conner is 31 years old and coming off a season where he played for three games before a foot injury sidelined him for the rest of the year. He’s also entering the final year of his contract for a team that added two talented running backs this offseason in Tyler Allgeier and first-round pick Jeremiyah Love. The Cardinals also have a new head coach this season. The Cowboys have options for a second running back behind Javonte Williams . Conner wouldn’t be a bad addition at the right price. Here’s the rundown on the Cowboys’ preseason. FRISCO, Texas – The preseason opponents were announced along with the NFL schedule two weeks ago, but now we have official dates and times for the games. The Cowboys have announced the schedule for their three preseason contests, beginning with the defending champion Seahawks. The Cowboys will not only make a regular-season trip to Seattle in December, but they’ll also kick off the exhibition slate on Aug. 15 at Lumen Field. The Cowboys are expected to arrive in Oxnard for training camp in late July, so the trip to Seattle will come near the end of a nearly four-week stay. Camp is expected to wrap up on Aug. 21, when the team heads to Arizona for an Aug. 22 game against the Cardinals. Like the Seahawks, the Cardinals will also face the Cowboys in the regular season (Nov. 1 at home). How the media of one of the Cowboys’ opponents sees the team this year. The beginning of the Brian Schottenheimer era was an up-and-down first season highlighted by explosive offensive performances which were necessary counters to challenging defensive performances. Dallas played two overtime games in the first four weeks of the season, the second of which was the 40-40 tie with the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 4 in Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons ’ first game against his former team, having been traded to Green Bay just before the start of the regular season. A three-game win streak following their Week 10 bye which included wins over the Eagles and the Chiefs moved the Cowboys to 6-5-1. Despite back-to-back losses to the Lions and Vikings, their playoff hopes remained alive entering Week 16 until a Philadelphia win over Washington to claim the NFC East title outright on Saturday, Dec. 20, officially eliminated them. Key changes Dallas parted ways with defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after one season, during which it allowed the third-most total yards per game and second-most passing yards per game. He was replaced by Parker, who served as the Eagles’ passing game coordinator & defensive backs coach the last two seasons. Head coach Schottenheimer is entering his second season as head coach of the Cowboys, compiling a 7-9-1 record in Year 1.

Cardinals still waiting on Jacoby Brissett

The Arizona Cardinals opened their first Organized Team Activities (OTAs) of the offseason on May 18 at the Dignity Health Training Center in Tempe, Arizona. This event was labeled as voluntary, but every rostered player was urged and invited to attend. The most notable player absent was QB Jacoby Brissett , who has stated he wishes to be paid more for a starting NFL quarterback. At no time has Brissett informed the Cardinals that he is officially “holding out,” but so far, the franchise has had two workout events, and Brissett did not attend either. So, we will see. RELATED: BRISSETT AGAIN MISSING FROM VOLUNTARY WORKOUTS Some other players did not attend, including TE Tip Reiman , RB Trey Benson , LB Baron Browning , DE Josh Sweat , and OT Christian Jones . Players who did show up but did not participate in any drills included DT Walter Nolen , WR Starling Thomas , and RB James Conner . Brissett is his own agent, so his actions aren’t the result of someone guiding him. He came to the Cardinals before the 2025 season, signing a two-year deal with the idea that he was going to back up starting QB Kyler Murray . Which he did at first. Essentially, everywhere Brissett has played, he has been the quality backup. Meaning, if the starter became injured for a series or a game or a string of contests, Brissett was able to provide a capable signalcaller until the starter was able to return. Selected in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft by the New England Patriots , he backed up Jimmy Garoppolo for a year before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts . The Colts sold their fanbase on the notion that Brissett was going to become the team’s starting QB after QB Andrew Luck suffered an injury. And in that first season, he started 15 of 16 games. But over the years, he was in and out of the starting lineup, and after four seasons, he was allowed to test the free agent waters. Brissett then began his backup role with the Miami Dolphins , Cleveland Browns , Washington Commanders , and back with the Patriots before inking his deal with Arizona last year. That contract was for two years, which is not the usual for a primary backup QB agreement, whereas a single-year agreement is more common. Brissett was the right guy for the moment to be in a backup role with Arizona. The deal was for $12.5 million, which is decent for a backup position. But when Murray became injured and found IR his home for the remainder of 2025, it was Brissett who the team depended on. And when Mike LaFleur was hired as the new head coach of the Cardinals, it was Brissett that LaFleur chose as his starting QB going forward, as the franchise released Murray. And suddenly, the Cardinals had a starting quarterback with a salary of $6.25 million and a cap hit of just $9.19 million. That $6.25 million ranks #30 among quarterbacks. But in looking at the list of NFL quarterbacks, there are several non-starters listed that make more than Brissett, such as Marcus Mariota , Davis Mills , Anthony Richardson, and Deshaun Watson , not to mention the guys who are still under their rookie deals, who are paid more like Jayden Daniels , Bryce Young , Caleb Williams , and Drake Maye . The Cardinals and Brissett haven’t moved the needle on his contract re-work since a few weeks ago. When asked, LaFleur declined to discuss any new information about their conversations. During the OTAs, quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck took all snaps. Although Brissett has played a lot of football in his 10-year NFL career, there is a new head coach at the helm. And a new OC. Plus, a new system that has different verbiage and schemes. All of this simply can’t be accomplished by showing up in the 11 th hour and expecting everything to go smoothly. Not to mention a new starting running back, a new slot receiver, and at least two new starting offensive linemen, if not three. Brissett has already been named the Cardinals’ starting quarterback

Cardinals’ offseason: 3 lingering questions after the draft and free agency

Now that the Arizona Cardinals have picked their draft choices, and for the most part, signed all the available free agents they need, it is time to start putting the right schemes in place, and getting ready for the June Rookie Readiness Program and then July’s training camp. The roster is ready to be groomed and molded into newly-minted head coach Mike LaFleur’s vision. RELATED: CARDINALS UNDERDOGS IN EVERY SINGLE GAME But there are questions. Actually, quite a few. Here are three of the most important issues. Think about this for a second. Before LaFleur accepted the head coaching gig with the Cardinals, he had to have looked at the roster up and down, sideways, slantways, backways, longways, and frontways like a Wonkavator. And the entire time LaFleur was considering the Cardinals as a possible next stop, the franchise owned the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. LaFleur was advised on the status of both James Conner and Trey Benson as the team’s starting running backs, and that they expected both back before training camp began. And yet, Jeremiyah Love from Notre Dame became the target instead of a stud defender or a select offensive lineman. This means that LaFleur had in mind to take Love as he was signing his deal to become the next head coach of the Cardinals. He had Conner and Benson in the palm of his hand, and yet salivated for an elite running back to develop into his new offensive scheme. This will be the ongoing battle throughout training camp. Three names will be penciled in continuously each week, depending upon production. The good news is that the two who aren’t starting will become quality depth pieces. Adams was selected in Round 3 of the 2024 NFL draft out of Illinois. He was drafted specifically to become the starter at one of the guard spots at some point. That just so happened to be last year, especially after a really good training camp. But Adams had issues early in the season and then struggled. He ended up with five starts but played in 15 games. His Pro Football Focus grade was a 56.7 at season’s end, which ranked him #56 out of 81 qualified offensive guards. His weakness in run blocking became an issue and needs further development. He also had seven penalties. As a new guy brought in during free agency, Pryor has excellent versatility in that he can play both guards, plus either tackle spot. During his tenure in Philadelphia , he played right tackle, right guard, and left tackle. In college, he played 21 games at right guard, so he has plenty of experience at the position. His Pro Football Focus grade for this past season was a nice 71.6. He had a single penalty, allowed three sacks, and four pressures, and played every offensive line position except for center. Make no mistake, this is a very large man. He has long arms with a massive frame. Being that big, he does need time to navigate his defenders, which is why he is best suited for guard, where he doesn’t have to worry about fast first steps. One of the best guard prospects in this year’s draft, Bisontis was ranked the third-best offensive guard. Excellent pass blocker with good footspeed for such a big man. Heavy hands and will remain active and attentive to his defender. Effective at pulling with a low center of gravity. His rookie status shouldn’t keep him from proving he is capable of holding down the starting job. The Cardinals signed EDGE rusher Josh Sweat away from the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 free agency period, and installed him on the rightside. In his one season with Arizona, he had 17 starts with 17 QB hits, 13 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 30 total tackles, 2 batted passes, 7 knockdowns, 9 hurries, and 28 pressures. In other words, he earned his keep. At just 265 pounds, he is light enough to be quick with 4.53 speed, and stout enough to take on an offensive tackle. His numbers proved he is an asset with the pass rush. The 12 sacks alone are a testament to his ability to disrupt havoc [... truncated ...]

2026 Season Outlook

Conner has been a very good running back for a long time, but it's hard to envision much of a role for him in Arizona in 2026. Now 31 years old and returning from a season-ending foot injury suffered in Week 3 of last year, Conner is likely behind both third-overall pick Jeremiyah Love and free-agent pickup Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart. Even if 2024 third-round pick Trey Benson (knee) is out of the picture, it just doesn't seem likely that Conner will take many snaps from Allgeier, who's basically just a younger, more expensive version of Conner at this point. Conner might find snaps more easily at fullback and special teams, though if both Love and Allgeier get hurt Conner might get a chance to show something

49ers schedule release in review: Too much unnecessary international flair

The NFL's international game expansion is highlighted with the San Francisco 49ers scheduled to play games in both Melbourne, Australia, and Mexico City. This decision is criticized for the excessive travel and impact on traditional scheduling, with the 49ers facing both the Rams and the Vikings in international matchups

James Conner Buried on Cardinals' Depth Chart Heading into 2026

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 3. Conner was present for the start of Arizona's voluntary offseason program in early April, which could be a good sign that he's on track to be ready for the start of the 2026 season. However, Conner now projects as the RB3 in Arizona at best after the Cardinals signed former Atlanta Falcons back Tyler Allgeier in free agency and used the third overall pick in the 2026 draft on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Conner was a productive player as recently as 2024, when he recorded over 1,500 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns on 283 touches across 16 games. Still, with Conner entering his age-31 season and coming off foot surgery, Arizona clearly prioritized upgrading at the position with its offseason moves. Barring a change of scenery before the start of the season, Conner's dynasty value is plummeting
