Johnny Manziel off to last-place Alouettes in five-player trade [View all]
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have traded quarterback Johnny Manziel to the Montreal Alouettes, reuniting him with the coach who recruited him to Texas A&M.
Manziel, offensive tackle Tony Washington and offensive lineman Landon Rice were sent to Montreal in exchange for defensive end Jamaal Westerman, wide receiver Chris Williams and first-round picks in 2020 and 2022.
"We have acquired an exceptional quarterback with undeniable talent," Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed said in a statement. "With his great mobility, his athletic abilities and his instinct we believe that he will have a positive impact on our offence."
Manziel, 25, never saw the field for Hamilton, which has been led by quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. Masoli tied a CFL record with nine straight 300-yard passing games before the team's Week 5 bye.
