My only guess is that he's confident that he'll light up spring league and be invited to an NFL camp. That can't happen if he's on a CFL roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Football comes across as a guy who never thinks things through and lets his massive ego get in the way of life decisions. A full season in the CFL would have shown what he could still do and especially would have been a showcase for what we know he is good at: scrambling, throwing on the run and adlibbing. I think this is a bad decision borne out of impatience and entitlement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a bad decision borne out of impatience and entitlement. The pattern continues even in his self proclaimed sobriety. Based on what his agent is saying, he's looking for the practices to springboard him into an invitation to a 2018 NFL training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTheTrust Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Personally, I wish him the best. If he sincerely has learned from his mistakes and can manage his newly found bi-polar diagnosis, he would be an incredible comeback story. He certainly is a unique talent on the field. Unless he ends up in our division. Then I hope he crumbles, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a pure playmaker, the kid showed promise. I remember being at that Browns game when he came in for Hoyer and he was an instant jolt of energy. Made it seem like he might pull it through. And then the Kyle pancake, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all he has is a long shot to get signed after playing in the Spring League which can't be much in the way of compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
