The new XFL seems like it'd be a perfect fit for Manziel, if its at all similar to the old XFL. All about theatre, media attention and PR, less so about actual performance. He'd thrive.

It's absurd he has more of a chance of returning than Kaep. You can snort lines, beat your girl, get suspended for substance abuse and not show up for work as long as you don't take a knee it seems. That'll get you permanently blackballed.

Well just watching him on last nights total access he looks like he can still throw a ball alright. He also seemed to talk a good game and sounded like his head is screwed on the right way. I mean everyone deserves a second chance, and the Americans love a good redemption story , but as Oat23 pointed out and victor cruz did on TA if manziel gets a second chance then Kapernick deserves a second chance.

Also what is the rap on RGIII with NFL teams as it stands ? I mean his injury is surely fully healed and he certainly wasn't a bad QB. He could certainly be a back up somewhere.

He came, he made $28m in salary from NFL teams and probably millions more in endorsements, he left. Does he even want to play again? He has two children, a wife, and seemingly a few quid to hand:

There will be more and more Jake Lockers imo:

However, on the point of the thread, I'm going to enjoy Manziel failing one more time for my amusement.

It may be cheap to sign him and cut him quick if necessary but the baggage he would bring upon signing will be too much of headache to most NFL GMs who may have a fit for him as back-up QB in their systems. He has always talked well, he does seem to have some degree of intelligence, he does have some talent but all evidence shows from college and the Browns that he is a tool, will never change and is manipulative. Aside from all character issues he was never a 1st round caliber draft pick and even if he did have his head screwed-on I was never convinced he had to complete skillset to cut-it as a franchise QB in the NFL.

It would be a total joke if Manziel gets a second chance and Kaep is rotting away who has at least proven himself to be a mid-level starting QB/played in a SB

Manziel signing a two year deal with Hamilton of the Canadian league. Go Cats!

Released by Montreal, and seemingly told by the CFL to sling his 'ook.

It's so vague and ominous sounding, it's like they are just dying for people to start speculating about what it could be.

Manziel seems to be very professional in his departing statement whereas neither the team nor the league are very professional in theirs. If you're not going to say why he's being kicked out, why bother with all the insinuations, and just say "we've decided mutually to go in separate directions"?

Its all well and good Manziel seeming to be very professional in his departing statement, thats easy to do. Given hes been barred from the league, and given his priors, I'd wager hes the one at fault here. I would not be betting my money against one of him having been caught doing stupid **** while out partying / driving drunk / testing positive for a party drug.

I don't think there's much doubt who is at fault in this situation. Just read back this thread if unclear

What's astonishing is that he still potentially has options to pay professional football, given the two other leagues starting up.

Of course he did something stupid, it's Johnny manziel. I'm just wondering why the cfl folks couldn't just release him and say nothing, or say why they are releasing him. It's this schoolgirl "I know a secret and I'm not telling you" ****e that reminds us that the cfl is bush league.

Signed with the Alliance. Will he make the field? Is there anything left?

It'll draw more people to watch, he is still a big enough name. People will watch to see if he can still make it. It'll create more headlines for the brand no matter what way it goes.

How does he keep getting opportunities, regardless of his off-field shenanigans, he just doesn't seem to be a very good QB at this stage.

If I was a marketing executive of a new league, and desperate for column inches and airtime, kiting Manziel certainly would get you talked about.
