2012: $465,000, 2013: Exclusive Rights Free Agent

Latest News

Cardinals re-signed exclusive rights free agent RB Alfonso Smith to a one-year, $465,000 contract.
Smith was forced into Arizona's No. 2 back job for a spell last season after Ryan Williams' torn patella. Smith has respectable size and speed, but there is zero wiggle to his game and he doesn't break tackles. He wound up averaging 3.40 yards per carry and falling back down the depth chart by season's end. Smith will have to battle for a roster spot this summer.
Apr 5 - 9:16 AM
Alfonso Smith is expected to start in Week 8 if Beanie Wells (knee) can't go.
Smith is a 2010 undrafted free agent out of Kentucky and replacement-level talent at best. With Wells sidelined in Week 3, Smith rushed 17 times for 54 yards and added three catches for 21 yards. That's about the ceiling of what we'd expect against the Ravens this week, especially after coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "It will be a little bit of back-by-committee," when asked about replacing Wells. LaRod Stephens-Howling and Chester Taylor will also get work.

Alfonso Smith rushed for 17 yards and a touchdown on five carries after replacing injured Beanie Wells in Week 7.
Smith coasted into the end zone from a yard out in the second quarter, after Wells sprained his knee. Wells' injury could be a multi-week situation. While Smith is more of a straight-line athlete than complete NFL running back, he'll be worth grabbing in fantasy leagues this week as the favorite for Cardinals goal-line carries. Unfortunately, Smith has the Ravens on tap in Week 8. He does get the Rams after that, though.
Sun, Oct 23, 2011 07:58:00 PM
The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers notes that Alfonso Smith looked "quicker and more authoritative" than Chester Taylor in Week 3 spot duty.
With Beanie Wells out, Taylor started against the Seahawks but the Cards quickly turned to the younger and faster Smith, who left a "positive impression." According to Somers, Smith "might have won the backup job" going forward.

Beanie Wells
Sidelined
Beanie Wells acknowledged Tuesday that his January 24 right knee surgery was "a little more complicated" than simply repairing his damaged meniscus.
Beanie's agent confirmed to ESPN.com's Mike Sando that the running back did not undergo microfracture surgery "or any other procedure requiring an extended recovery period." Wells isn't practicing this week, though coach Ken Whisenhunt insists the team is playing it safe. Sitting out offseason drills has been the plan all along. "It's coming along pretty good," Wells said. "No setbacks at all, I'm feeling confident about being ready when the time is right." The Cardinals plan is for Beanie to be ready by the start of training camp.

Ryan Williams (knee) is doing most of his work on the side with a trainer during Cardinals OTAs.
Williams hasn't reached the point in his recovery where he's ready to participate with teammates. The Cardinals will limit his activity until training camp.

Updating a previous item, Cardinals TE Jeff King's right leg injury is a partially torn quadriceps tendon suffered in offseason workouts.
The injury did require surgery, though coach Ken Whisenhunt expects King to be ready for training camp. Whether or not he's back to 100 percent by August remains to be seen.
