Johnny Manziel is looking for a new football home yet again. The Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that they have released the former Heisman trophy winner after the league office discovered that he had violated the contractual terms that allowed him to play north of the border.

“We are disappointed by this turn of events. Johnny was provided a great deal of support by our organization, in collaboration with the CFL, but he has been unable to abide by the terms of his agreement,” Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed said in a statement. “We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny, who was unwilling to proceed.

“We are confident going into the 2019 training camp with a roster of quarterbacks that had played in our system last year and are committed to our team.”

The CFL has informed its teams that Manziel will not be permitted to sign another contract.

Manziel's Canadian football odyssey began in spring 2017, with commissioner Randy Ambrosie finally approving his instatement the following December after a conditional agreement was reached between he and league representatives. The 26 year old would go on to sign a contract with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, who traded him to Montreal in a blockbuster deal last July, one month into the 2018 CFL season. Manziel, back playing under former Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman, started eight games for the Alouettes, throwing for 1,290 yards, five touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

He first rose to prominence as a sophomore in 2012, winning the Heisman trophy and leading the Aggies back to relevance in the SEC. Manziel was selected in the first round of the 2014 draft by the Cleveland Browns, who released him two years later after a tenure marked far more by off-field troubles than on-field success.
