And this is all contingent on him staying clean and out of clubs.

The lasting memory of his NFL career will be him walking across the stage rubbing his fingers together doing the money sign

Even if he is successful in the CFL, I don't see him getting back to the NFL. The game in the CFL is very different (rules greatly favor the offense), but more importantly, the level of competition he will play against in Canada is not even close to what he would see in the NFL. The number of success stories in this category is very small and I don't see Manziel anywhere close to being exceptional. Good luck to him though....his presence will definitely help the CFL get exposure south of the border.
