Chad Johnson will work out for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League next week.

“We do expect to meet with Chad Johnson and work him out in Vero Beach, Fla. this week. Talks did take place and have escalated over the last week," said general manager Jim Popp in a statement.

Johnson confirmed the news Friday night.

Johnson signed with the Miami Dolphins in June 2012 but was released following his arrest on domestic violence charges.
