A month and a half after he was cut by the Raiders, cornerback Chris Johnson still hasn’t found a new NFL home. But he has a visit lined up for Monday.

Johnson will visit the Jets, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Johnson spent the last five seasons with the Raiders, playing in 59 games and starting 29. He’d add depth at cornerback and contribute on special teams if he signed with the Jets.

For Johnson, finding a new team this offseason has taken a back seat to taking care of his family. His sister was killed and his mother injured in a shooting during the 2011 season, and he’s been caring for his mother and his sister’s children this offseason.
