Arizona Cardinals have tough choices to make in their running back room for 2024

With the Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL just five weeks away from starting the 2024 NFL training camp schedule we can get into looking at a number of different positions, groups and players on the cutting block.

There are plenty to move through, but today I wanted to look at the running backs and who is on the chopping block heading into 2024.

Here is what we know, from a salary cap and investment concept.

When you look at the room, here is where it stands:

• James Conner
• Trey Benson
• DeeJay Dallas
• Michael Carter
• Emari Demercado
• Tony Jones

I think we all agree Conner and Benson are safe barring injury.

Based on the investment in Dallas, he seems like a sure thing to make this roster.

That leaves likely one spot for the three players in Michael Carter, Emari Demercado and Tony Jones.

Carter looked like the preferred third down back, but with Dallas on the roster is that spot now gone?

Demercado provided a lift and excitement this year, but is he more than that? Will that be enough to keep him on the roster?

Jones feels like a safe assumption to be gone, but he will get a lot of work along with Demercado and Carter in the preseason.

If I had to guess right now, the Cardinals four-man running back room in September (barring injury as always):

• Conner
• Benson
• Carter
• Dallas

Who do you have?
