It’s official. Johnny “Money” Manziel is potentially coming to the CFL. There’s been plenty of rumours over the past fews months that this might be a real possibility. Then the Tiger-Cats traded away their starting quarterback to the Roughriders and now we have an official statement from the team.

The Tiger-Cats issued the following statement:

“As per the negotiation list process, Johnny Manziel and his agent recently notified the Tiger-Cats that they had activated the 10-day window during which the Tiger-Cats must offer him a contract or lose his negotiation list rights. That window closed today and we can confirm that we made an offer to Manziel, and that his rights will remain on our negotiation list while discussions with he and his agent continue. We will have no further comment.”

Whether or not the Tiger-Cats actually sign Johnny Football will be another story. But if in fact they do, I will be buying my first CFL jersey and watching a lot more Tiger-Cats games.
