The Canadian team wanted him to sign a 2 year deal and he only wanted to sign a one year deal. From Manziel’s POV, the NFL was going to come calling once they saw what he could do, so that’s why he was only willing to do 1 year. There was 0 movement on the contract length from either side, so no contract...

Kind of dumb on his part. It's going to take more than a single season to convince teams he's changed.

The Canadian team wanted a two year deal to pay him to play professional football but he could not be committed because fame was going to call his name again.

Forget it, he has not changed a bit. When he does change, professional athletics is going to be long gone.

I hadn’t heard that. Actually all the news articles I read said it was al down to money because Manziel wanted to be the highest paid player in the CFL.
