Bruce Arians shocked by some offseason moves

The Arizona Cardinals have had quite the haul in the offseason. They re-signed many of their key players. They traded for Chandler Jones and they added Evan Mathis and Tyvon Branch.

Even head coach Bruce Arians is a bit surprised.

Both tight end Jermaine Gresham and running back Chris Johnson turned down bigger contracts to return to Arizona on one-year deals. Johnson turned down roughly twice what the Cardinals offered and Gresham turned down a four--year, $23 million contract with $12 million guaranteed.

"I was shocked," Arians said via ESPN.
