The Arizona Cardinals kicked off their free agency moves by signing running back Tyler Algear from the Atlanta Falcons. It's a two-year deal worth $12 million, marking their first edition for the 2026 season. Algear brings solid production from his time in Atlanta, where he racked up nearly 2800 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns. Over four seasons, he thrived as a complimentary back to Bijan Robinson, handling short yardage and heavy packages reliably. Meanwhile, the Cardinals already have a crowded backfield. They restructured James Conner's contract to keep him around, and young Tray Benson remains on the depth chart as a former high draft pick. This move comes under new head coach Michael Flore, who wants to rebuild the team's run game identity heading into next year. Algear Rear played every game over the last three seasons, adding depth right away.
