Revenge of the Birds on Dameon Pierce
From the article
RB Dameon Pierce was a fourth-round draft pick of the Houston Texans back in 2022 and became a Pro Bowl alternate that same year. His highlight was a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in 2023. After his four-year rookie contract expired in 2025, the Texans decided to keep Nick Chubb instead. Pierce was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs to their practice squad and then was elevated to the main roster in late December. In free agency this year, he signed a one-year $1.29 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, but was a last-day cut and then signed to their practice squad. Before Week 6, Pierce was elevated to the main roster. He suffered a hamstring injury, and Philly released him with an injury settlement. He is now a free agent. Seven teams have reached out to his agent: San Francisco, Miami, Tennessee, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Carolina, and the Cardinals.
STACKED’s take
Pierce pursued by Cardinals; interest suggests doubt on Conner's return.
RB Dameon Pierce is a free agent being pursued by seven teams including the Cardinals. The fourth-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2022 became a Pro Bowl alternate that year and had a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in 2023. After his rookie contract expired in 2025, the Texans kept Nick Chubb instead. Pierce signed with the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad and was elevated in late December, then signed a one-year $1.29 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency but was cut and signed to their practice squad. Before Week 6, he was elevated to the main roster but suffered a hamstring injury and was released with an injury settlement. The Cardinals' interest in Pierce raises questions about whether the team has confidence in James Conner's return this season, despite having Tyler Allgeier, Bam Knight, Evan Hull, and Jerome Ford on their roster.
