Hold on, Johnny

Don’t expect to see Johnny Manziel in the Canadian Football League this season.

The league announced Wednesday it won’t approve a contract for the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner until next season, and only if he meets certain conditions stipulated by Commissioner Randy Ambrosie.

Those conditions are confidential, the league said.

Manziel will be eligible to sign a CFL contract after the season.

Ambrosie met with Manziel earlier this week in Toronto.

“I recently had a really positive meeting with Commissioner Ambrosie and welcomed the chance for us to get to know each other and have an in-depth talk about a possible future with the CFL,” Manziel said in a statement. “I love this game and want to be back on the field in a situation where I can help a franchise in the long term.”

Manziel added that he and Ambrosie agreed that it wouldn’t make sense for him to join a team with a month left in the season.

The league also said Manziel will remain on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ negotiation list until Nov. 30. The club has until that time to try to sign Manziel to a future contract or trade him to another team.

The former Texas A&M star played two tumultuous seasons in the NFL until the Cleveland Browns released him in March 2016 amid several off-field issues.
