Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson believes he, James Conner can be 'two RB1s' in 2025
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson believes he, James Conner can be 'two RB1s' in 2025 Second-year RB Trey Benson envisions a bigger role and more opportunities for him in the run game in 2025. The Arizona Cardinals had one of the league's top rushing attacks in 2024, led by James Conner's nearly 1,100 yards. Trey Benson, a rookie drafted in the third round last year, contributed more in the second half, although missed the final three games with an ankle injury. The clear backup to Conner, he finished his first NFL season rushing for 291 yards and a touchdown on 4.6 yards per attempt. He also had six receptions for 59 yards. In Year 2, Benson believes he will make a much bigger impact. "I feel like I'll get more opportunities and help James out more," Benson said during mandatory minicamp this past week. "I feel like we can have two RB1s on this team, and that's my mindset this year is two RB1s." Head coach Jonathan Gannon has spoken highly of Benson in terms of the type of playmaker he and the team believe Benson can be. He added about seven pounds in the offseason and wants to add some power and force to his already elite speed, trying emulate more how Conner runs. Getting more from Benson would be huge. Conner is now 30 years old and, while he has had consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, he has never played every game in a season in his career and set a career-high in rushing yards (1,094), total yards (1,508) and in touches (283). Imagine Conner and Benson combining for 1,500 rushing yards and 1,800 total yards from scrimmage with double-digit touchdowns. That, combined with the production the Cardinals should get from tight end Trey McBride and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and that offense could be lethal in 2025.

Aaron Rodgers to NFC West rival LA Rams was 'a possibility' this offseason
Aaron Rodgers to NFC West rival LA Rams was 'a possibility' this offseason The Rams' top priority was to make sure Matthew Stafford returned in 2025, but if he didn't, Aaron Rodgers was possible. The Los Angeles Rams kept quarterback Matthew Stafford on their team for 2025, agreeing to a new contract with the veteran. Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, for just a little it, there was a shot that Rodgers could have ended up in the NFC West, where the Arizona Cardinals would have to face him twice. Rams head coach Sean McVay told NFL Network's Kyle Brandt this past week during OTAs that pursuing Rodgers was "a possibility." A report came up in the offseason about Rodgers' possible interest in playing for the Rams. The thought of Rodgers was a sort of contingency plan had they not been able to re-sign Stafford. 'Our first priority, which was consistently communicated, was, 'Hey, let's work out something with Matthew,' and we were very fortunate that it worked out that way,' McVay said. 'If that wasn't able to occur, then that [Rodgers] was definitely — conversations and a possibility for us." Could you have imagined how much more interesting the NFC West would have become? The distraction would not be an issue for the Cardinals, and it would have meant Rodgers returns to State Farm Stadium, where he has not fared well. Instead, Stafford returns and Rodgers is in Pittsburgh. The Cardinals won't face him and will have to find a way to get the best of Stafford, who is 9-2-1 in his last 12 appearances against them, including in the postseason.

What has been going on with the Rams? Below are some stories from the last week about them that Cardinals fans should know.

Joint practice scheduled The Cardinals have a joint practice with the Denver Broncos in the second week of the preseason. The Rams will hold a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, CA leading up to their preseason opener at home. Starting LT has health issues The Rams signed former Cardinals first-round pick D.J. Humphries this week and it was for a good reason. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson is dealing with blood clots for the second time in his career. His status for this season is a little in the air now. OTAs takeaways The Rams concluded voluntary OTAs last week. Among the takeaways from their voluntary work, CB Emmanuel Forbes is bigger, DL LBraden Fiske's knee is fine and RB Kyren Williams is working on a new contract with the team.
