Johnny Manziel making his first career CFL start

[MikelArteta]

I don't, I couldn't name ten CFL players, but still it's the only other league in the world where dudes can make a living playing football, so regardless what you or I think it has provided for thousands and thousands of black men jobs and opportunities

Cot damn at anyone knowing anything about the CFL

 

[Omar Little]

dont watch but who cares if ppl watch CFL or not

 

[Miggs]

He's having more talks, I won't be shocked if this will soon be a done deal or another team will trade for his rights

Manziel would be the most popular cfler of all time and that equals money, if he signed today to the Argos for example they would have a sellout the rest of their games..

I dont know about that breh....He would sell some tickets but a sell out i onno.Theres not even 10k that shows up now.

 

[Miggs]

People would watch argo games if Johnny Manziel was on the roster.

Team will never be gone it's been around for more than 100 years and you cant have a Canadian league without a team in the biggest cities.

I think the CFL is the one exception where you could survive without Toronto.

 

[madness]

the potential fukkery both on and off the field

This dude is still getting shots to become "fave of a franchise" yet Vick is still being protested for dog fights he wasn't even convicted of and Kaep can't even get a job.


White football privilege at it's finest

It's Canada bruh stop it


That's like arguing a certain player cant make an NBA roster, but hating on Marbury balling out in China

It's because of the name, see they not trying to talk to Josh Brown about a kicking job. Im sure if RGIII out his name in the hat he'd get calls too.

And Johnny didn't get the job so what's your gripe??

If Vick wanted to play in the CFL and be a team's star, he'd could have. Same for RGIII or Kap.

Of all the things to call out as white privilege, this sure as hell ain't it at its finest. This is one step above arena league, where hasbeens and never-was scrape the bottom of the barrel.

The CFL is weighing whether to allow quarterback Johnny Manziel to play in the league this season, according to a statement that confirmed Manziel's interest in resuming his pro career.

Manziel's CFL rights are owned by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who placed him on their negotiation list -- the league's process of intaking international players -- several years ago. According to league policy, any player on the list can trigger a 10-day window in which the team must either offer a contract or renounce his rights.

Manziel's agent recently notified Hamilton of his intent to start the 10-day clock, but the CFL said Friday it had extended the window so the league itself could "facilitate a process of evaluation for the player."

No timetable for the unusual extension was provided.

The CFL's statement was first reported by TSN.

Manziel, 24, hasn't played since the Cleveland Browns released him in March 2016 after two disastrous seasons marked by off-field struggles and a trip to a rehab facility. The NFL suspended him for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating its substance abuse policy. In December 2016, he received a conditional dismissal of a misdemeanor charge after being accused of hitting and threatening his then-girlfriend.

Manziel said in January that he was sober and was hoping to return to the NFL. He met in January with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, but no team expressed serious interest in signing him.

The Tiger-Cats, spurred by new coach June Jones, worked him out in August but decided not to make an offer at the time.

Hamilton could trade Manziel's rights, but any team acquiring his rights would still have to await the conclusion of the CFL's evaluation process. If the Tiger-Cats make an offer that he turns down, Manziel must spend another year on their negotiation list before his rights are renounced.

According to the policy, any CFL team could add Manziel to their negotiation list if Hamilton renounces his rights.


get him argos :blessd:

CFL was still a viable and even higher paying than the NFL for certain players at points during the 90s. CFL lured in players with contracts in the 90s.
