When I first read it I though it was a tampering deal, and he was trying to play in the US. I mean he didnt just get cut by a team, he is banned by the entire Canadian league.
But its probably drugs. He had a lot of hoops to jump through and sounds like he got tired of it -
Manziel said last summer that we was required to see a therapist every week, attend mandatory doctor visits, and submit lithium tests each month. Before the CFL allowed Manziel’s first club, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, to sign him last June, they conducted an “assessment by an independent expert on domestic violence, a review by legal counsel, and an in-person discussion conducted by the Commissioner.”
The Alouettes said they were “disappointed” by the CFL’s decision, also noting, “We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny, who was unwilling to proceed.” He had two years left on his contract when he was cut.
