There were conflicting reports on how well Johnny Manziel did in his August audition for the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Apparently, the quarterback performed well enough to garner real interest from the team. The expectation among other CFL clubs is that the league office will allow Hamilton to sign the former Texas A&M star, Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com (Twitter link) hears. JLC adds that he would be surprised if a signing does not happen. 
Hamilton holds Manziel’s CFL rights, which would theoretically pave the way for a deal. However, there have been whispers of the league effectively blackballing troubled players in the past. Depending on who you ask, Greg Hardy may have been blocked from signing with a team north of the border. League officials apparently will not stand in the way of Manziel making a return to the gridiron.
Manziel, 25 in December, has not been on the field since Dec. 27, 2015 when he was with the Browns. In eight career NFL starts, the former first-round choice completed 57% of his passes for 1,675 yards, seven touchdowns, and seven interceptions. His Browns went 2-6 in those games.
What took him and his agent so long to finally go north ???? Only way back to the NFL for him. The CFL is made for him just like it was for Flutie. He is the only person that could screw this up so hopefully he gets straight
I’m still shocked that he couldnt pull a try out. Small sample size with an awful team. He would be interesting behind Carr or Dak. Hell the Jags could of used him. His off field really ruined his persona, but they have Vick and Hardy a chance. Yes they are better talent, but let him get back under center and then decide.
Rooting for ya Johnny good luck my man hope to see you back in the NFL soon
