Cardinals GM Steve Keim spoke Wednesday and told reporters that he’d like to sign RB Kenyan Drake to a long-term deal. (ProFootballTalk on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Drake is on the transition tag in 2020 that will pay him roughly $8.4M this season. In a league where the shelf-life of running backs is minimal, it would behoove Drake to take Keim up on his offer of a long-term contract, given the numbers work for both sides. Because he is on a one-year transition tag, the Cardinals have until July 15 to complete a deal for Drake. Contact terms and money aside, Drake is in for a nice uptick in value this season with the offense getting a huge boost from the addition of all-pro WR DeAndre Hopkins. Consider him a fringe RB1 heading into the season.
