The Arizona Cardinals bet on the market and Kenyan Drake may have actually won.
The Arizona Cardinals placed the transition tag on the running back they traded a fifth round selection for and that allowed him to seek a contract elsewhere.
Well, after Melvin Gordon received only a two-year $16 million deal from the Denver Broncos, the writing was on the wall. Running backs were not getting paid this offseason.
So, Drake signed his tender, meaning if he and the Cardinals can’t come to a contract agreement on a long-term deal, he’ll play in 2020 season at $8.
