Running back Kenyan Drake was given the transition tag by the Arizona Cardinals on Monday ahead of the start of free agency.

The tag gives the Cardinals the right to match any contract Drake signs on the open market.

Drake has struggled to get consistent playing time during his four years in the NFL, but he has been productive every time he has gotten a chance with at least 4.5 yards per carry each season.

He had 1,012 yards from scrimmage in just 173 touches in 2018 and 1,162 yards on 220 touches in 2019, totaling 17 touchdowns in this stretch.
