HAMILTON — Johnny Manziel is heading to the Canadian Football League, the latest move for the Heisman Trophy winner whose NFL career was a bust with the Cleveland Browns. The quarterback said on Twitter on Saturday he signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, ending months of speculation on a possible path back to pro football. “Made the decision today to sign my contract with the CFL and further my football career after a long break,” Manziel wrote. In 2016, a domestic assault charge against Manziel in Dallas was dismissed after he took anger management course and participated in the NFL’s substance-abuse program. Manziel was drafted out of Texas A&M by the Browns in the first round in 2014.
