Bam Knight News
Wednesday, March 11, 7:17 AM
The Arizona Cardinals agreed to re-sign running back Bam Knight to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Knight became a much bigger part of Arizona's backfield last year than anyone would have expected after season-ending injuries to both James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee). The 24-year-old finished the year with 82 carries for 269 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, adding 22 receptions for 160 yards and another score through the air in 12 games (eight starts). Conner and Benson are still under contract with the Cardinals for the 2026 season, and they also signed former Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier earlier this week. At best, Knight will be the RB3 or RB4 in Arizona going into next season, so he's unlikely to have nearly as many opportunities for touches unless injuries strike again.

Kimani Vidal News
Friday, March 6, 12:04 PM
The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Friday that they placed an exclusive-rights tender on free-agent running back Kimani Vidal to keep him around for the 2026 season. The Chargers also signed running back Jaret Patterson and safety Kendall Williamson to contract extensions. The 24-year-old Vidal was thrust into a bigger role than anticipated last year when both Najee Harris (Achilles) and rookie Omarion Hampton (ankle) went down with injuries. The former sixth-rounder in 2024 out of Troy had 155 carries for 643 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and three touchdowns in 13 regular-season games, adding 16 catches for 136 yards and another score. Vidal proved to be a reliable plug-and-play RB3/flex option for fantasy managers, although with Hampton returning as the Bolts' clear lead back, it will be difficult for Vidal to improve on his numbers in 2026.
