The Arizona Cardinals and two-time Pro Bowl running back James Conner have reached an agreement on a revised contract that will keep the veteran in Arizona through the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The 31-year-old Conner is coming off a challenging campaign where he was limited to just three games. A significant ankle injury sidelined the veteran for the vast majority of the year, leading to questions regarding his role and future with the franchise. However, this revised deal signals the Cardinals' continued commitment to Conner as a cornerstone of their offensive backfield.
Throughout his tenure in Arizona, Conner has established himself as a reliable goal-line threat and a leader in the locker room. Since joining the team, he has been a productive force when healthy, providing a physical rushing style that has defined the team's ground game in recent years. By securing him for the 2026 season, the Cardinals ensure they have veteran stability at the position as they continue to build their roster.
