Johnny Manziel’s comeback has come to an abrupt end.

The Montreal Alouettes released a statement on Wednesday
announcing that Manziel, 26, had been cut from the team
following a directive by the Canadian Football League (CFL) to
terminate his contract.

The league alleges that Manziel “contravened the agreement which
made him eligible to play.”

“We are disappointed by this turn of events. Johnny was provided
a great deal of support by our organization, in collaboration
with the CFL, but he has been unable to abide by the terms of
his agreement,” General Manager Kavis Reed said in a statement.
“We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny,
who was unwilling to proceed.”

It is unclear what prompted the league action on Manziel. But,
according to CFL.ca, Manziel’s time in the league was
conditional based on “extensive” and “confidential” requirements.

A deal for Manziel was secured in December 2017 but a statement
from the CFL at the time suggested it was contingent on certain
terms laid out by the commissioner.

“Mr. Manziel has been informed he must continue to meet a number
of conditions in order to remain eligible. These conditions,
while extensive and exacting, remain confidential,” the
statement read.

The Heisman Trophy winner and former Cleveland Browns
quarterback will also be unable to play for any other team in
the league as the CFL informed all clubs that “it will not
register a contract” involving Manziel.

Manziel, who was released from the Browns in 2016, released a
statement on Twitter that suggested he would be seeking a new
career back in the U.S.

I want to thank Coach Sherman, my teammates, and the CFL fans.
My time there reestablished my love for the game of football and
the work that goes into it. I look forward to exploring new
options within the United States.
