The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL would like to sign Johnny Manziel, but the former Browns standout has reservations about going north of the border. Specifically, Manziel is wary of the CFL’s policy that players must commit for two seasons. With that in mind, Manziel is also considering the upstart Alliance of American Football, Mike Florio of PFT hears.

Manziel is reportedly willing to accept a practice squad deal with no guaranteed money to prove that he belongs in the NFL, but it’s not clear if any teams are interested at this time. It’s possible that teams could give more serious thought to signing Manziel once they start releasing players, including undrafted free agents that aren’t up to par, from the 90-man roster.
The former Heisman Trophy winner would probably draw some serious dollars for the Tiger-Cats and the CFL as a whole, so it’s conceivable that the league could amend its policy to accommodate him. Meanwhile, the Tiger-Cats made a trade with the Montreal Alouettes this week that could give them the cap space necessary to give Manziel a contract worth more than the league minimum.
The AAF will launch in February 2019 – just after the Super Bowl – so Manziel will have to wait a while if that’s the route he plans to take.
Former Browns STANDOUT?!?!?
That made me laugh too. He stood out for all the wrong reasons
Well, he sure as heck didn’t blend in
He can play in the local rec flag football league
He can play in local rec flag league
Or local rec flag league
the headline words are right in the way
Johnny will be exposed in the CFL. CFL is a passing league and Johnny isn’t built to play 75% pass.
You never watched Manziel play clearly. Kids arm was never a question. He can throw a deep ball and is accurate from short and mid range. His small frame and off the field issues were his downfall.
Walmart needs a guy to collect carts in the parking lot. Maybe a spokesman for Smirnoff?
Why not order two 1/2 pound patties instead of one 1 pound pattie. Makes no sense.
Neither do your inane posts!
Mmmm….center one
