Veteran cornerback A.J. Bouye doesn't yet have a new NFL home.

As had been expected, the 29-year-old completed a visit with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, however, Bouye left without putting pen to paper on a contract:

CB A.J. Bouye has left Las Vegas. Doesn't mean he can't come back, but no deal for first FA visitor. #Raiders

Bouye made his first and, to date, only Pro Bowl appearance in 2017 as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville traded him to the Denver Broncos last March, and he appeared in seven games before he earned a suspension for an alleged violation of the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. He will serve the final two games of that ban at the start of next season regardless of where he signs.

He also suffered a dislocated shoulder in a Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans last September. In total, he recorded 23 tackles and six pass breakups.

Denver made Bouye a salary-cap casualty last month.

Earlier this week, Pro Football Focus ranked Bouye No. 109 on its list of potential free agents. PFF predicts he'll receive a one-year deal worth $5 million with $3 million in total guaranteed money.
