Two-time Pro Bowl running back James Conner is returning to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022.
Shortly after the legal tampering phase of free agency opened Monday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Conner and the Cardinals agreed to a three-year contract extension. The Cardinals later confirmed the agreement.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is worth $21 million and could escalate to as much as $25.5 million. It also includes $13.5 million in fully guaranteed money.
In his first season in Arizona in 2021, Conner enjoyed one of his most productive seasons and earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl.
