Fwiw, Lawless speculating that Argos will try to pry Manziel's rights from TiCats, if they feel his head is on straight...

Hope they can get him to Toronto, and hope he can stick with it there.

They need something to get people going to games, and interested in the team/league, Johnny  would help quite a bit with that.

Or as Tburg probably will put it - 8 different NFL teams?  Why are we hiring a guy who can't seem to hold down a job?

Ahhh, I see you're looking to join the Warning Crew with @kelownabomberfan and I.....we're still meeting on Tuesdays via Skype...

CFLPA has to do something about the whole roster bonus release...  getting ridiculous.

The roster bonus is for the players.

Even if they were likely going to cut him, if there was no roster bonus, Edmonton could hang on to him at least through training camp, then make a decision based on what they have in camp.

The roster bonus forces the team to decide before the season starts to commit to a player.  And if they cut him, then there is still time to catch on with another team. 

One could argue that it would be better for the player if they negotiated the roster bonus to be paid before free agency.

Pretty amazing considering his other options.  The Chiefs (and other teams) were a bit hesistant to go after him because they weren't sure how long he'd want to play.  Guess he's proven his doubters wrong!
