the Alouettes were directed by the CFL to sever ties with Manziel "after it was found that he had contravened the agreement, which made him eligible to play in the league."
"Me and E.B. are fully committed to playing ball and trying to get into the best situation possible and that's what it's all about." Exactly what conditions or requirements that were broken or violated weren't divulged. Manziel had sought treatment for anger management and alcohol abuse as part of his acquittal on a 2016 charge of domestic violence.
He also ran for 215 yards on 29 carries as Montreal finished third in the East Division but missed the CFL playoffs.
