An NFL reporter named the Dallas Cowboys as one of many suitors for an Arizona Cardinals star running back.
Cowboys, Commanders, Chiefs linked to same $3 million Cardinals Pro Bowl RB originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Arizona Cardinals have made two noteworthy moves at the running back position this offseason.
The NFC West franchise signed former Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier in March and drafted Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. As a result, the Cardinals may feel inclined to move on from their 31-year Pro Bowler James Conner, seeing as though their RB room is relatively crowded at this stage of the offseason.
ESPN’s Mike Clay believes that the Dallas Cowboys , Washington Commanders , and the Kansas City Chiefs are three logical landing spots for the Pittsburgh product. “James Conner, Alvin Kamara, and Trey Benson need new homes,” ESPN’s Mike Clay wrote on X/Twitter last Wednesday. “I could see fits with the following teams: Commanders, (Indianapolis) Colts , Cowboys, (Cincinnati) Bengals , (Green Bay) Packers , Chiefs, and (Cleveland) Browns .
” Considering the Cowboys need to find a backup running back to assist Javonte Williams, the Commanders didn’t have a single 1,000-yard rusher a season ago, and Patrick Mahomes nearly rushed for more yards than Isiah Pacheco despite his unimpressive 4. 80-second 40-yard dash time, it makes sense why Clay is under the impression that the three franchises should be interested in trading for Conner. Dallas already possesses a dynamic duo at wide receiver with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, so why not use that same blueprint to help them boast one of the most formidable rushing attacks in the league?
