Unsympathetic Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Something that hasn't been mentioned yet.. JM was released only after he decided he's unwilling to follow the proposal the CFL gave to him. Wasn't just an arbiter decision of some sort -- JM thought it would be better for him to get released rather than doing whatever they proposed and continuing to play.

And of course that's all sealed up. Maybe just to pique our curiosity. Seems like some sort of testing and rehab or counseling type of protocol.

Didn't take prescribed medication? Didn't attend counseling/therapy session? Just went out and got drunk and high? He won't play in Canada, but that does not mean he can't play in the US. There is the AAF.....and also the "New XFL"...which starts up next year. Assuming he wants to continue to be a football player, which I don't think we can assume. If he went to San Antonio, he would be near home. Grew up in Kerrville just outside of SA. Don't know if that would help him at all. Rumor is he is going to San Antonio AAF league since they own his rights. However he has been invited to work out for reps of all AAF teams in case SA decides not to take him. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2019/02/28/johnny-manziel-aaf-workout-cfl-ban/3013331002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 MICHAEL ROTHSTEINESPN Staff Writer9:56 PM ET1 Minute Read Johnny Manziel is headed back to the United States to play football. The former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns has signed an agreement to play in the Alliance of American Football, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday. Because San Antonio, the team he would have been allocated to, waived his rights, according to Schefter, he will go through the league's waiver system. Memphis, with a 1-5 record, will hold the first waiver claim once Manziel goes through the system. The Express are on their third quarterback this season, having started with Christian Hackenberg and then gone to Zach Mettenberger. They would have to release a quarterback if they claim Manziel. Brandon Silvers played the majority of Saturday's 22-9 loss to Salt Lake after Mettenberger suffered an ankle injury early in the game. Silvers completed 23 of 37 passes for 242 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions. Memphis has struggled on offense throughout the season. Two weeks ago, league co-founder Bill Polian said the AAF had put out "feelers" to Manziel and was in the midst of doing its research on him after he was released from the CFL's Montreal Alouettes. Manziel immediately becomes one of the biggest name draws in the league as one of the few former NFL first-round picks tied to the league, most notably among them Birmingham running back Trent Richardson. Other than Orlando, which has Garrett Gilbert at quarterback, most of the league's teams have had some issues at the position. Standard AAF contracts are for three years and $250,000. However, players can earn more in incentives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickers Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 The bottom line is.. Johnny is too late in his career to hope he could latch on and be a serious , viable canidate to actually be something in professional football.. He should be thinking about settling down and thinking about what he's gonna do to survive the rest of his life.. He's a has been who never was.. The league should just move on from his ass and forget about him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For kicks and giggles Steve I had to look up Memphis ticket prices, and it's anywhere in the stadium- $20. FWIW, our Class A minor league baseball Dayton Dragons charge $19 for stadium seats. 5 hours ago, nickers said: The bottom line is..

The odds of him making it back into the NFL are about as good as you or me getting a call from one of the GMs. He should realize bombing out in the CFL was the end of the road.
