Pittsburgh Steelers running back and current free agent James Conner is reportedly visiting with the Arizona Cardinals:
RB James Connor heading to Cardinals for a visit today. One of top free agents still on market

Arizona just lost running back Kenyan Drake in free agency, and Conner would certainly bolster their running back room. Conner is considered a rather big name free agent that is still available on the market.

In his career, all four years in Pittsburgh, he has rushed for 2,302 yards and 22 touchdowns. He has also caught 124 passes for 963 yards and 4 touchdowns. Wherever Conner goes, they are certainly getting a tough player and an even better human. The man has been through hell and back and came out on top. He will always hold a spot in the hearts of Steeler Nation, and we wish him all the best wherever he lands.
UPDATE 4/13/21:
Conner has signed with Arizona:
The @AZCardinals continued to pick up veteran free agents as they have signed former Steelers RB @JamesConner_ one day after he flew in for a visit. @NFLonFOX

We wish James all the best, and thank him for his contributions in Pittsburgh. His story and play will be ingrained in Steelers, and Pittsburgh fans in general , mind’s and heart’s forever.
