Johnny Manziel’s football career probably isn’t over because the AAF and XFL would want him just for the ratings, but he has been banned from the CFL and his NFL career has been done.
Definitely a cautionary tale.
Frankly, he wasn’t that good in CFL and that is a league that was catered to his skillset.
According to a source, Manziel violated a set of conditions set forth by the CFL when he originally signed in May 2018. Although the league never specified the terms, it said in a statement that they were “extensive and exacting” and were generated after an assessment from an independent expert on domestic violence.
Manziel has dealt with several off-field issues. In 2016, a domestic assault charge against Manziel in Dallas was dismissed after he took an anger management course and participated in the NFL’s substance abuse program. In a recent interview, he said he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has stopped drinking.
