Cardinals sign Chris Johnson, per report

Free agent running back Chris Johnson agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday.

The Cardinals may be giving Chris Johnson a shot, but he’s giving the world a look at his.

He can’t be any worse than in New York last season right? The 2008 first round pick rushed for 7,965 yards and 50 touchdowns during his stint with the Titans. Whether the team remains in San Diego or moves to the Los Angeles area, Rivers, 33, will be able to retire with lightning bolts on his helmet after agreeing over the weekend to a four-year, $84-million contract extension – a deal that includes a no-trade clause.

Johnson is expected to split carries with Andre Ellington in the Cardinals’ backfield. The league did not say which substance Seymour, who started three games for the Browns last season, used. After spending one year as a Jet, Johnson could now be on his way to Arizona.

Monday will mark the first day that Johnson will practice with pads on, as the first several days of training camp consisted exclusively of non-contact drills.

The former Jets running back uploaded a picture on Instagram on Friday of a gunshot wound to his shoulder from a March drive-by shooting in Orlando, Fla. Behind Ellington was David Johnson, a third-round rookie who has great measurables at 6-1, 224 pounds but is making a big leap from Northern Iowa.

Durability and speed is the name of the game for Arizona’s ground attack this season and now that they have added arguably the fastest man in NFL history Chris Johnson to the mix, they will get the best of both worlds.

If Johnson can show off just a tiny amount of the flash that he had in 2009, then he’ll be a lock to make the roster.
