Bruce Arians: Chris Johnson is 'not promised anything'

Chris Johnson and the Arizona Cardinals recently agreed to a one-year deal, but the veteran running back has no guarantees other than a chance to earn a place on the 53-man roster.

According to Darren Urban of the team’s official site, head coach Bruce Arians said he promised nothing to Johnson or tight end Jermaine Greshman.

Arians said he told both CJohnson and Gresham, "You're not promised anything." Including a roster spot. #CardsCamp

It’s a refreshing piece of honesty from Arians, because Johnson’s time in Arizona could be brief.
