On CJ and other free agency odds and ends

On a day when the Cardinals nabbed Evan Mathis for the offensive line -- the team's second outside free agent acquired, exactly one week into free agency -- GM Steve Keim wasn't sure how much more the team will do in signing players. "I think we're at a point where you let it come to you," Keim said. The price has to be right in every spot. And there are still some moving parts.

-- Running back Chris Johnson was in Miami to visit the Dolphins Wednesday. The Cardinals could still bring Johnson back, but with David Johnson in place, both the money and opportunities for CJ2K in Arizona would be limited. From afar, it looks like the Dolphins -- who lost Lamar Miller to free agency -- could offer more of both. UPDATE: Johnson is coming back.

-- Karlos Dansby was cut by the Browns Wednesday -- interestingly, two years after going to Cleveland, after the Cards offered a two-year contract themselves back in 2014. (Although Dansby got more guaranteed money from the Browns, so financially, it made more sense). The Cardinals will look at Dansby, but a third term as a Card seems unlikely. At 34, he's likely not the same physically he was two or three years ago. Plus, would Los go for a minimum salary-type of deal?

-- The visit of guard Geoff Schwartz doesn't figure to happen now that Mathis was signed. Haven't heard anything else about tackle Andre Smith. UPDATE: Smith signed with the Vikings.

-- Cornerback Leon Hall visited Dallas after Arizona, but Hall still isn't signed (which likely says something about how Hall has overpriced himself at this point.) It still stands to reason the Cards want to sign a veteran cornerback. Maybe it could still be Hall. It could still be Jerraud Powers.
