Cardinals and James Conner Reach 2-Year Contract Extension Agreement

The Arizona Cardinals announced on Saturday that they have reached a two-year contract extension with veteran running back James Conner, valued at $19 million. Since joining the team in 2021, Conner has been a key player on the offense, accumulating 3,279 yards and 34 touchdowns on the ground, along with 1,128 yards and six touchdowns as a receiver. His 40 total touchdowns with the Cardinals rank among the top in the NFL during that time. At 29 years old, Conner is showing no signs of slowing down, as he is on pace for another 1,000-yard rushing season in 2024. If he reaches that milestone, he will become the first Cardinal to have four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Head coach Jonathan Gannon praised Conner for his dedication to conditioning and recovery, highlighting his impact both on and off the field. Conner’s running style, versatility, and leadership have made him an invaluable asset to the team. Cardinals fans can look forward to seeing more of Conner’s contributions over the next two years with this contract extension.
