The Arizona Cardinals want to re-sign running back Kenyan Drake this offseason after the second half of the season he had for the team following his trade to Arizona. However, that might not happen, as he seeks a big payday.
If they are unable to bring Drake back, they will still likely try and sign a veteran running back in free agency, whether or not they trade David Johnson.
Who are some possibilities if Drake does not return?
Carlos Hyde
Hyde is 28 years old and rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2019. It was the first time he did so in his career. He can also catch the ball. He only had 10 catches in 2019 for the Houston Texans, but he had 59 in 2017 for the San Francisco 49ers. Arizona Sports 98.7 FM’s John Gambadoro says Hyde is a potential target for the Cardinals and he would fit. His projected market value is a two-year deal worth about $6 million. He could be a lead back for the team.
