San Antonio Commanders of the AAF sound as if they want to sign Johnny Manziel
San Antonio Commanders hold the AAF rights to former first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel. It sounds like the Commanders are interested in adding Johnny Football as well. San Antonio’s general manager Daryl Johnston recently told the media the following:
Yeah, I think we’re going to get some clarity on that, if not late this week, then early next week. All personnel stuff, the business week will terminate on Tuesday evening, so I would expect some resolution on what the league has decided in time for movement prior to business being closed on Tuesday evening. So if it doesn’t happen late this week, then I would expect it to happen very quickly early next week, per247Sports:
Judging from Johnston’s comments, it sounds like the AAF is still very much in play. While Manziel may get a bigger deal from the XFL, he can leave anytime if he shines and is given an opportunity from an NFL team.
