The Arizona Cardinals lost their starting running-back Kenyan Drake to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Drake signed a two-year, $14.5 million contract with $11 million in guaranteed money. That has left the Arizona Cardinals short-staffed at the running back position.
Three running-backs the Arizona Cardinals could pursue this off-season:
With free agents being the flavor of most teams this off-season, the Arizona Cardinals would like to explore the same route for their running-back position. If the Arizona Cardinals do not want to pursue that route, they could look to sign a running-back through free agency.
On that note, let's have a look at three running-backs the Arizona Cardinals could pursue by way of trade this off-season.
#1 Latavius Murray
The New Orleans Saints are having salary cap struggles right now. Latavius Murray has been a great back-up running-back for Alvin Kamara.

#2 Kareem Hunt

#3 Tony Pollard
Tony Pollard has put together two good seasons for the Dallas Cowboys in his first two years in the NFL.
Pollard is waiting for his opportunity to start at the running-back position to show the league what he has to offer. With the Cowboys being fully committed to Ezekiel Elliott, the Arizona Cardinals could pull Pollard away from Dallas.
Tony Pollard is another running-back who could be a good fit in the Arizona Cardinals' offense.
