Dundon, who became the AAF's chairman earlier this month after making a nine-figure investment in the league, said it was not immediately clear whether Manziel would accept the workout offer. The San Antonio Commanders own Manziel's rights under the league's college allocation system, but personnel from all eight AAF teams would be invited to the potential workout, Dundon said.
Manziel, 26, was released by the Montreal Alouettes on Wednesday and barred from signing with any other CFL team after violating an agreement with the league. The CFL has revealed neither the specific stipulations within that agreement nor which of them Manziel violated. — Johnny Manziel February 27, 2019An XFL spokesperson told USA TODAY Sports the league has not had any contact with Manziel or his representatives.
Why Manziel was barred from the CFL remains a mystery, and the details could play a role in where he lands next. He was released by the Browns in 2016 because of a series of off-the-field incidents, as well as a lack of production, and he was charged with assault for allegedly striking his ex-girlfriend in 2016. The charge was dismissed after Manziel completed a conditional dismissal agreement.
