Find a new home for a running back

One of the bright spots against the 49ers was running back Kenyan Drake. He was acquired on Monday from the Miami Dolphins. He made an immediate impact with a 15 carry for 110-yards performance with a touchdown.

His presence was necessary thanks to injuries to David Johnson and Chase Edmonds. Going into 2020, while it would be nice to have all 3 backs, it just isn’t possible.

Where are you going to find enough touches for all 3 backs to make everyone happy? You won’t. Some say convert Johnson to a full time receiver but the Cardinals have already nixed that idea in the past.

It would sting to lose a guy like Johnson but maybe now is the time to move him while you can still get value in return? The Cardinals have some time to think about this one and still need to see if Drake is a longer term answer.

Edmonds is likely not going anywhere. He is just getting started. It was unfortunate he got injured just as he was getting going.
