Conner did return, but he was nicked up again last week against Falcons. Out of sheer desperation, this is a must pick up. What‘s The likelihood that Conner finishes the season? Not real high.

Dude you said he couldn't push out Cook when he was already out snapping him. Just own the L.
Cooks getting $6m guaranteed which why he's still there.

Carter was benched last week after commiting a chop block penalty that negated a first down on 3rd and 8. He should fit in well here with all of the Cardinals penalties.

You're right. The Jets probably gave Dalvin Cook a $6 million guaranteed salary because they were so happy with Michael Carter. And they're dumping Michael Charter right now because they love him so much and he's so good.
I am properly owned.
Maybe they brought in Dalvin because he had 43 touchdowns over the previous 4 seasons and averaged 1200 yards per season and they thought they were in a win now window with Rodgers…?

Average, not as fast as Edmonds

He has that snap lead because he was their hurry-up junk-time RB. The NY Jets sucked almost as bad as the Clayton Tune Cardinals did.
One thing I do like with Carter is his ability to help with pass protection. A large number of the snaps that he did see this season he was used for extra pass protection on 3rd down because the coaches trusted him in that role.

He and Demercado have similar running style. He fits as a third and long back. He has excellent receiving skills and decent YAC. He’s okay protecting the QB if he stays in despite his size.

FYI.... I like the pickup behind Conner. But he's firmly behind Conner and ahead of Demercado & Ingram.

Let’s be honest here, we still have 7 more games to play this season, and the likelihood of Conner staying healthy is small at best. The Cardinals will no doubt draft a RB fairly early in the 2024 draft, but we need help now. He’s a solid pick up at this juncture in the season.

I think the key is he’s an improvement for the Cardinals. Doesn’t matter much what player on other teams he couldn’t beat out. Can he be a reliable 2/3 for us? That is what I’d like to find out.

You can’t help but to believe he’s going to enjoy life a little bit more as Zach Wilson won’t be his QB anymore compared to Kyler.

Maybe? It’s probably because he’s so good that he was sitting in free agency deep into training camp.

He had some good games last year. I liked him. There is no doubt in my mind he is a upgrade over Ingram and Jones Jr. Probably better than DeMercado, or maybe not.
So what is the big deal? Nothing to lose with this move, only something to gain perhaps.

We’ll we don’t throw to RBs so I’m sure he’ll enjoy Nov-Dec here more than in Jersey.

Spit ballin here, but it is a bit concerning that the Jets hold a players only meeting to vent frustrations and immediately afterwards this dude gets cut from the roster.

No brainer pick up in my opinion. After Conner and Demercado we have nothing at this position. Was hoping we would make this move.

He was pretty good when he got snaps.
I like this pickup, absolutely should be better than Demercado.

It's football season!!
The guy I like is Bucky Irving. Home run speed to complement Conner.
