TEMPE, AZ - The Arizona Cardinals re-signed running back Troy Hambrick for 2 years. Hambrick, who has spent most of his career in the shadow of Emmitt Smith, signed a 1 year contract with Oakland before last season. The Raiders then traded him and DE Peppi Zellner to the Cardinals for a conditional 2005 draft pick on August 31.

Hambrick, seeing limited action behind Smith, ran for 283 yards and 1 touchdown in 63 carries before spraining his foot against Carolina on November 21. A few days later, he was placed on injured reserve.

The Dallas Cowboys acquired Hambrick as an undrafted rookie in 2000, and he was Smith's backup for 3 years. However, he beat out Emmitt in 2003 and gained 972 yards on 275 attempts. Hambrick rushed for 5 TDs, while starting all 16 games for the Cowboys.
