Foles No Franchise Tag, Manziel Flames Out Of CFL, Wade Hits 3-Pointer For Win Over Warriors
FOOTBALL
The Philadelphia Eagles decided not to place a franchise tag (which would cost them $25 million) on quarterback Nick Foles, making him a free agent. Foles has served as Carson Wentz’s primary backup and even won the MVP in Super Bowl LII.
The Montreal Alouettes, of the Canadian Football League, terminated Johnny Manziel’s contract beacause he “contravened the agreement which made him eligible to play in the league.†Manziel, a former Heisman Trophy winner, flamed out in the NFL after having been chosen in the first round of the draft by the Cleveland Browns. The Alouettes didn’t specify what exactly led to his dismissal, but his contract specifies a number of “extensive and exacting†conditions including weekly therapy appointments, doctor visits and Lithium tests (which he takes for his bipolar disease). Manziel tweeted farewell to his team and said he was “looking forward to exploring new options within the United States.â€
