QB Manziel tries to restart career in Canadian league

Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel is attempting to jump-start his floundering career north of the border.

Manziel activated a 10-day window to force the Hamilton Tiger-cats of the Canadian Football League either to sign him, release his rights or trade them to another CFL team, multiple media outlets reported.

The former Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M had a tryout with Hamilton at the end of August, which decided not to sign him at the time, citing “too many red flags,” according to TSN.
