- James Conner is expendable due to the Cardinals' influx of younger running backs, including Benson and Love.
- Conner's $4.83 million 2026 cap hit fits within the Jets' $39.5 million cap space.
- The Jets would likely only give up a fifth-round pick at most for Conner.
- Conner is coming off a severe ankle injury that limited him to three games in 2025.
