Last month reports surfaced that former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson was trying to find a team to play for, even looking at the Canadian Football League. At one point he was hoping to sign with the B.C. Lions. Nothing came of it. Johnson, who has been out of football since being publicly released on HBO's Hard Knocks in '12, will work out this week with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes.
Alouettes will work out Chad @Ochocinco this week in Vero Beach, per GM Jim Popp. "Talks did take place, have escalated over the last week."
