Johnny Manziel's arrival in the CFL took a major step forward Sunday, as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced they have offered the former Heisman winner a contract.
"As per the negotiation list process, Johnny Manziel and his agent recently notified the Tiger-Cats that they had activated the 10-day window during which the Tiger-Cats must offer him a contract or lose his negotiation list rights," the team said in a statement. "That window closed today and we can confirm that we made an offer to Manziel, and that his rights will remain on our negotiation list while discussions with he and his agent continue.
