Johnny Manziel’s comeback has come to an abrupt end. The Montreal Alouettes released a statement on Wednesday announcing that Manziel, 26, had been cut from the team following a directive by the Canadian Football League (CFL) to terminate his contract. The league alleges that Manziel “contravened the agreement which made him eligible to play.”“We are disappointed by this turn of events. “We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny, who was unwilling to proceed.”It is unclear what prompted the league action on Manziel. But, according to CFL.ca, Manziel’s time in the league was conditional based on “extensive” and “confidential” requirements.
