Cardinals, Chris Johnson strike one-year deal

The Miami Dolphins have lost out on another running back.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Chris Johnson has chosen to return to the Cardinals on a one-year deal worth $3 million, per a source involved with negotiations. The team later confirmed that both sides have agreed to terms. Rapoport also reported Johnson turned down nearly double that amount from another team.
