Cardinals signed draft pick Johnson to three-year deal

The third-round draft pick Rashad Johnson just got a three-year contract from the Arizona Cardinals.

As the 95th selection overall, the 5-foot-11, 203-pound safety from Alabama was a walk-on out of high school and became leader of the powerful Crimson Tide defense. He is expected to fight for the backup role behind Adrian Wilson and Antrel Rolle and for a spot in the Cardinals' "nickel" defense.

The signing announced Thursday leaves only first-round pick running back Beanie Wells and second-round pick linebacker Cody Brown without contract agreements among Cardinal draft picks. They have not commented on any possibility of wearing texans jerseys.

Another news from Arizona said that the Cardinals released wide receiver Shane Morales, who had signed as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Oregon State on April 27 and the team will report for training camp in Flagstaff on July 29.

Dockett will report to Cardinals training camp

Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said in a comment that he decided to attend Cardinals training camp and will not allow contract issues to affect his performance this season.

There are still three years remaining on Dockett's current contract, but he is seeking a new deal. For this reason, he did not participate in the team’s voluntary workout this summer.

According to the Cardinals statements, they will consider Dockett's demand only after they solved contract issues of linebacker Karlos Dansby and Boldin.

“From the first day of training camp and on, I will not let my contract issues distract me or my team from reaching our goals,” Dockett wrote on his Twitter page. “I also look forward to playing with my teammates and defending our NFC championship title, and I am looking forward to a great season.”

Dockett said that it was his own idea to post his feelings via Twitter. He also wrote that he believed Cardinals will win the NFC West. He did not yet consider possibility of putting on jets jerseys.
