The Story in 60 Seconds

Bleacher Report analyst Kristopher Knox proposed an NFL trade concept sending Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier to the Detroit Lions ahead of the deadline. Knox suggests Detroit represents an ideal landing spot to help manage the heavy workload of starting running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who is on pace for roughly 470 touches.

The proposed deal would likely yield Arizona a mid-Day 3 draft pick while clearing salary cap space. Although Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with Arizona in the offseason, he has managed only 176 yards on 61 carries, and the article notes no actual trade talks have been reported between the franchises.
