Johnny Manziel traded from CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats to Montreal Alouettes

Johnny Manziel's time with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats was short lived.

The quarterback has been traded from the Tiger-Cats to the Montreal Alouettes, the teams announced Sunday.

In addition to acquiring Manziel, the Alouettes also received offensive linemen Tony Washington and Landon Rice.

In return, the Tiger-Cats got the Alouettes‘ first draft picks in 2020 and 2021, defensive lineman Jamaal Westerman and receiver Chris Williams.

The move allows Manziel to reunite with Alouettes‘ head coach Mike Sherman, who recruited him to Texas A&M in 2012.

Manziel, who signed with the Tiger-Cats in May, has not taken a regular season snap for the CFL team as he served as a backup to starter Jeremiah Masoli.

He completed 12 of his 20 passes for 88 yards and a threw his first touchdown pass in Hamilton's preseason victory over the Alouettes.

Montreal's starting QB broke his hand last weekend so Manziel should start Thursday.

Montreal is tied for last in the league at 1-4 and has only scored 69 points all season and is dead last in that category.

As a former Canadian, this is like handing liquor to a recovering alcoholic. The amount of strip clubs there almost equals that of Tampa Bay lol. And he better brush up on his French because that is the only city where Americans think everyone will talk back in English to you...

Just remember...

“chapeau” means “hat”
“œuf” means “egg”

It’s like those French have a different word for everything!

That doesn’t sound like he has a promising career ahead if he’s been traded in his first season.

Montreal gave up their first round draft picks for 2 seasons for him, apparently they expect big things.

The Hamilton QB is pretty good, so Manziel most likely wasn’t going to get a chance there.

Masoli went 8 games in a row for over 300yds.

Hasn't translated into touchdowns though, they're 2-3 in the East.

How the mighty have fallen. A 10-cent head has condemned many a talented NFL QB prospect. Such a shame. As if there is an excess of starting caliber QBs in the NFL. In any given season, you are lucky if 15-20 starting NFL QBs are starter quality. Usually a good 10-12 at minimum are back-up quality QBs pressed into starting duty by the lack of talent at the position. Of course, it is the most difficult position to play in all of sports.

Johnny Mazel has already pissed away more money than I will earn in a lifetime. I’ll probably live twice as long too.
