MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes have acquired quarterback Johnny Manziel from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the two teams confirmed Sunday evening.
In the deal, the Ticats added national defensive end Jamaal Westerman, international wide receiver Chris Williams and two first-round draft selections (2020, 2021) from the Montreal Alouettes in exchange for Manziel, international offensive lineman Tony Washington and national offensive lineman Landon Rice.
The news was initially reported by TSN’s Duane Forde at around 6:45 p.m. ET, and confirmed an hour later.
Manziel is reunited with Alouettes’ head coach Mike Sherman, who recruited him in the NCAA, in 2012, with the Texas A&M Aggies.
In two pre-season games with the Tiger-Cats, he completed 21 of his 31 passes (67.7%), including one for a touchdown. He also kept the ball six times for 19 rushing yards.
Manziel, just 25 years old, has been one of the biggest stories of the season despite not even playing a down with the Ticats. The former Heisman Trophy winner and first-round NFL draft pick was a marquee signing this off-season, ending a year-long period of anticipation over his arrival in the three-down game.
But despite all the fanfare, the Ticats stuck with Jeremiah Masoli as their starting quarterback, and he’s continued to play well under Head Coach June Jones, most recently tying a CFL record with nine straight 300-yard passing games.
