Chad Johnsons signing with the Montreal Alouettes capped a month long period of speculation; CFL fans wondering if one of the most notorious receivers in recent memory would actually sign in the league, or if he was just having some fun on Twitter. Gary Harris Jersey . The player formally known as Ochocinco is officially taking his act north of the border. Hell help the Alouettes at the turnstiles, but will he help them on the field? Johnson hasnt played a professional snap since 2011 with the New England Patriots, filling his time since then trying out for soccer teams, riding bulls, and dancing with the stars. His late career numbers in the NFL were less than impressive as well. The 36-year-old had just 831 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2010, his last campaign with the Cincinnati Bengals, whom he had his most success with, before capping his time in the NFL with a 276-yard, one touchdown season in New England. The veteran reportedly looked good in his tryout with the Als during their Florida mini-camp however and Montreal GM Jim Popp insists the teams interest is football-based. "Its all business," Popp told reporters in Florida. "Its real. Hes in great shape. He wants to play and well see how things are." And for Johnsons part, the 11-year NFLer insisted this wasnt another publicity stunt along the lines of his other post-NFL activities. "Its just football. Its football, its not about Montreal. Its about the opportunity to be able to play football again, something I love," Johnson told reporters, adding he was humbled by the opportunity to play in the CFL. And for all the headlines Johnson made during his time with the Bengals and Patriots, he was never considered a bad teammate. Knowing hes not likely to be a locker room cancer, his signing could be a gamble worth taking. With Anthony Calvillo retired, the Alouettes are looking for a new star. Johnson will certainly sell some tickets, but does he have enough gas left in the tank to justify people paying to see him play? The Rouge asks: Can Chad Johnson be successful with the Alouettes? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. Malik Beasley Jersey .
