Cardinals Agree to Two-Year Deal With RB Tyler Allgeier, Per Reports

The reported agreement during the legal tampering window sets up a three-back competition with James Conner and Trey Benson in Arizona.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the deal at roughly $12 million to $12.25 million over two years, with contracts not eligible to be signed until the new league year begins on March 11.
  • Allgeier, 25, leaves the Falcons after four seasons in which he logged 2,876 rushing yards and 20 total touchdowns, including a 1,035-yard rookie year.
  • In 2025 he posted 514 rushing yards on 143 carries with a career-high eight rushing touchdowns while serving as Bijan Robinson’s complement.
  • Known as a powerful, short-yardage runner with elite ball security, Allgeier has never fumbled in his NFL career and has been durable and available.
  • The move follows Arizona’s restructure to retain James Conner and adds competition for carries alongside Conner and third-year back Trey Benson.
