COMEBACK SZN: Hamilton Tiger-Cats offer Johnny Manziel a two-year deal
Wednesday night, Manziel posted a video to his Instagram story of himself singing along to Chris Brown's "Tempo" and with a caption reading "Hoodies Friday...stay tuned."
Also on Wednesday night, someone on Twitter asked Manziel if they could bring back the money sign in 2018. Manziel replied: "It should have never died #MoneySZN."

As reported earlier this month, Manziel is asking the Tiger-Cats to make him an offer in line with what the team has paid quarterbacks in the past. It just so happens that Hamilton's former quarterback Zach Collaros, whom the Tiger-Cats traded to make room for Manziel, was the highest paid player in the CFL last season with a base salary of $520,000.
It ain't exactly NFL money, but if Manziel can secure the bag, I guess we could call it Money SZN.
