James Conner Restructures Contract to Remain with Cardinals

Veteran running back James Conner has agreed to a restructured contract to remain with the Arizona Cardinals for the 2026 season, avoiding release for cap savings. Conner, who was limited to three games in 2025 due to a foot injury requiring surgery, is expected to return as the team's RB1. He will lead the backfield alongside backup Trey Benson, provided he maintains full health for the upcoming campaign.
