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.

Yup, once he discovers Chez Paree, he will never leave Montreal!

When I got my green card (ALL canadians who immigrate to the US HAVE to interview, grab their green cards at the Montreal US Consulate), I went to the famous Club Super Sexe and some member of the Canadiens, the Hells Angels and Cirque du Soleil were in the club LOl. If Johnny went there, he might take up residency in the club. Man, great times..

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...

Rusty Staub did when he went to the Expos. Worked out pretty well for him.

Or as George Best put it, “I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.”

It’s been reported that Matt Shiltz took most of the first-team snaps in practice.
