Former Pro Bowl RB David Johnson leaves Saints' visit without a deal

Free-agent RB David Johnson is still looking for a new home. 

The former Pro Bowler recently had a visit with the New Orleans Saints but left without a deal. 

On Friday, Johnson Tweeted, "Unfortunate, we couldn't come to terms, but appreciate the Saints for the opportunity! Journey to be continued." 

Johnson became a household name in 2016 with the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with 1,239 yards and 16 touchdowns, earning first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. However, Johnson's numbers have steadily declined since his breakout season. 

Last season with the Houston Texans, Johnson played in 13 games, starting four of them. He compiled 228 rushing yards while averaging 3.4 yards per attempt, the lowest output of his career.

In 87 career NFL games with the Texans and Cardinals, Johnson has recorded 4,047 yards, averaging 4.1 yards per attempt with 39 touchdowns.
