The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back James Conner to a two-year, $19 million contract extension, keeping him under contract through the 2026 season. Conner, a two-time Pro Bowler, has been a vital part of the Cardinals' offense, known for his punishing running style and leadership. In the 2024 season, he has accumulated 993 scrimmage yards, ranking 12th in the NFL, and 705 rushing yards, placing him 16th. Additionally, he is tied with Derrick Henry for the NFL lead in forced missed tackles with 71. Conner, who will turn 30 in May, has demonstrated his value to the team, as the Cardinals have a 5-1 record in games where he has reached 100 scrimmage yards, compared to 1-4 in games where he has not. This extension reflects the team's commitment to securing a key offensive player for the foreseeable future.
