Quarterback Johnny Manziel has activated the 10-day window that will force the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to offer him a contract according to CFL sources.

Under CFL rules, any player on a team’s exclusive 45-man negotiation list can demand to be offered a contract within 10 days. If a contract offer is not received within that period, the player is removed from the neg list. If a contract offer is received but rejected, the player is removed from the list one year from the offer date.

The CFL has confirmed that the Ticats could offer Manziel a two-year contract – all entry contracts are one-year plus a team held option – at the league minimum of $53,000 per season and retain his rights until mid-way into 2018.

It’s not clear when Manziel’s representatives activated the 10-day clause.

Do the semi-pro Renfew ******s need a QB?

Probably as bad as the Ti-Cats

$53k Canadian for the season? That's quite the pay cut. He could make more selling used cars.

That is the minimum, I would bet 100g's or so. And if he makes it, and does well ,he will make over 500g's. That should buy enough beer. And where else is he going to go?

Brooklyn. They have a bridge there he might be able to sell.
