BillsFan4 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 He was banned by the CFL from signing a contract with any CFL team. https://www.tsn.ca/cfl-directs-alouettes-to-release-qb-manziel-1.1264993 Quote We are disappointed by this turn of events," Alouettes GM Kavis Reed said in a statement. "Johnny was provided a great deal of support by our organization, in collaboration with the CFL, but he has been unable to abide by the terms of his agreement. "We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny, who was unwilling to proceed." Wonder what he did? And its interesting that Mansfield was the one unwilling to proceed with whatever alternatives were offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sucked in NFL and CFL. He will suck everywhere, he is not a good QB. What money he has he owes big thanks to Mike Evans for making him look draftable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good at it but it was so gimmicky. And I do hope he found peace in his life but the drug stuff, IMO, was a crutch because he deep down knew he wasn’t nfl caliber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept saying this at the draft too, he's a mid round pick at best who had an Elite WR make his stats look good. Fun to watch in college, but so were a lot of guys who had no NFL futures.

And you know I’m hard on Allen but I did worry there was a lot of sandlot plays. I want to see more of the traditional pocket plays, with running as the last option. that said, it’s night and day between Allen and Manziel’s physical and mental tools. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s also why I’m hard on Zay actually too. Zay does most of his limited production on those sand lot plays when Allen is buying time with his legs. If our WRs won their routes more and got open, Allen wouldn’t have to use his legs so much to buy more time. Allen is a skilled runner, but he wants to throw it first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope he did get his life back on track. All this. I had such a long debate with people on this board about whether Manziel made Evans or Evans made Manziel. It was obvious to me it was the latter and Evans was my guy in that draft. That said I wish him well in his life. He clearly has some demons that he has battled and is still battling. He just wasn't a guy whose college playing style translated to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that happening when Polian calls the commish of the CFL to find out exactly what happened the the commissioner of their league was the one that decided that Johnny needed to go I'm thinking he has played his last professional game !

RyanC883 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hardly over. Either the AAF, or XFL. Most likely, if he continues on his current trajectory, AAF for a year, then XFL. 2 hours ago, T master said: He says he wants to continue to try playing in the US but theres not much left unless the AAF try's to give him a shot ?

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 The second I heard the XFL was coming, I called Johnny playing there. He's gonna end up playing for the Dallas or Houston team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) The CFL Substance Abuse Policy does not include recreational drugs - only PED's. He stated earlier that he was required to take regular lithium tests (Lithium is used in treating bipolar disorder) and go to regular counseling. I'd have to think that his suspension has to do with inability/unwillingness to follow thorough on his medication and counseling. Piling on the guy if this is the case, is bad form. https://www.cfl.ca/2015/05/05/cfl-drug-policy-glance/ Edited February 28, 2019 by Irv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all how many posters here were clamoring for him back when he was drafted . Yea but that is when Kyle was on team and he needed a tackling dummy.
