Cardinals offseason positional outlook: RB

We break down the situation for the Cardinals this offseason at running back.

Big offseason questions

Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports

The Cardinals made it obvious they want to re-sign Drake. How much will it cost? He will want to get paid and his performance warrants that. He probably can command a yearly average of $5-7 million in a new deal that runs between two to four years.

Will the Cardinals pay him that much, especially with David Johnson’s contract still on the books?

The next question is about Johnson. What can they do with him? They can’t cut him because it will cost $4 million in cap space to cut him than to keep him. Can they trade him? How much of the contract will they have to eat? Will they have to attach a draft pick to move him?
