The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back James Conner to a significant two-year contract extension worth a reported $19 million, solidifying his role as a key offensive player. This move keeps Conner with the team through the 2026 season and has reportedly made him one of the top-10 highest-paid running backs in the NFL. The decision comes as the Cardinals aim to retain a critical component of their offense and avoid free agency for the talented former Pittsburgh Steelers star.
