HAMILTON — Ticats head coach June Jones took to Twitter Sunday evening and offered fans a look at his intentions for the coming weeks in Hamilton.
Jones mentioned that this week will be the “one that sets the stage for a Grey Cup run”. The second-year Tiger-Cats sideline boss also alluded to the fact that a decision — one way or another — on free agent quarterback Johnny Manziel is on the horizon, saying “decisions on many things that will get us there … including Manziel … everyone is on board and team decision!!!”

Earlier this month, Manziel and his agent gave the Tiger-Cats a deadline of January 31 to come to an agreement. The Tiger-Cats confirmed just prior that they had indeed offered the free agent pivot a contract and that discussions were ongoing.
