TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Cardinals and running back James Conner reworked the last season of his contract to keep him in Arizona for the 2026 season, NFL Network reported Sunday.
Conner was set to earn $6.39 million this coming season with a $9.83 million cap hit. To avoid being released for cap savings, Conner’s deal was revised.
Conner, who’ll be 31 on May 5th, played in just three games last season after injuring his ankle in Week 3 at San Francisco.
Conner finished last season with 95 rushing yards after rushing for more than 1,000 yards -- the first 1,000-yard seasons of his career -- in each of the two seasons before that.
Conner, who’ll be entering his sixth season with Arizona, signed a two-year extension with the Cardinals in late 2024.
The nine-year veteran has rushed for 6,065 yards and caught 289 passes for 2,255 receiving yards in his career. He has 72 total touchdowns (60 rushing).
