With former SMU and Hawaii head coach June Jones now the head man of the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Johnny Football could be headed north of the border soon.
Via Pro Football Talk:
Yes, the Tiger-Cats have given Manziel a workout. But, no, they haven’t decided that he’s not ready to resume his football career, due to “too many red flags” or otherwise.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the Tiger-Cats remain extremely interested in Manziel, and the team could still sign him. There’s much more to the story, which may or may not come out. For now, the fact is that the Tiger-Cats have a very positive attitude toward Manziel, and new coach June Jones and others in the organization feel very strongly about signing him to a contract.
Still only 24 years old, we hope the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner gets a chance to revive a once-promising career.
