Johnny Manziel traded to Montreal Alouettes, will play for Mike Sherman

Heisman winner and former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel is on the move once again.

Though he joined the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats just two months ago, Manziel has been traded to the Montreal Alouettes, a team coached by a familiar face to the Aggie legend and the 12th Man in general: Mike Sherman.

Manziel, who redshirted during Sherman's final season with the Aggies, has been a backup quarterback in Hamilton since returning to football earlier this year but should have a chance to compete for a starting spot in Montreal as the Alouettes (1-4) have scored more than 20 points just once in five games this season.

Sherman was head coach at Texas A&M for four seasons from 2008-'11 and helped recruit Manziel to Texas A&M. He posted a 25-25 record while in Aggieland and was fired just before Manziel's break-out 2012 campaign.

Though his tenure ended on a sour note, Sherman did much to bring the Aggie football program out of the doldrums of the early 2000s and stocked a talented roster that paid massive dividends during Texas A&M's first year in the Southeastern Conference.

Now reunited in Montreal, Manziel and Sherman will attempt to institute the same kind of turnaround with the Alouettes. Together this time.

I see Niagara rescheduled for 11/03/18 works quite nicely!
