Johnny Manziel Explains Why He Signed With The Canadian Football League

“It was really the wait,” Manziel said Tuesday on “PFT Live,” via the New York Post. "I didn’t want to get into something down the road where I’m waiting until August, waiting until training camps open, and then if something doesn’t transpire I’m getting here late.”

As far as possible interest out of NFL teams perhaps intrigued by bringing him aboard, Manziel suggests something almost occurred.

“I think it was close,” Manziel said. “I did reach out and talk to multiple teams and coaches I had met in my first couple years in the league.”
