It’s no secret that Johnny Manziel’s off-the-field behavior has eclipsed his on-field production at this point in his NFL career. But is it enough for the Cleveland Browns to release the former first-round pick just two years after drafting him?
Browns Executive Vice President of Operations Sashi Brown issued a general statement on the subject of the team’s former first-round pick on Tuesday, Feb 2.
“We’ve been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny’s continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization,” said Brown via ClevelandBrowns.com. “His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time.”
