With the money he has already received, a more humble person could live the rest of their days quite well off.

A kid like this has about a years worth left. I’d bet his hanger-ons will still have some of his money when he is out.

I actually feel sorry for the QBs who get drafted by the Browns. It does seem to destroy their potential.

That’s right . They messed around so much with the team that all they managed to do was win a Super Bowl in January

You don’t know much about football or ‘the modern era’

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys will pick him up.

Especially now that they don’t have to trade anything and just have to cover the $1.6 million salary for the year.

He has a ton of talent, but has too many off the field issues to be picked up by another team. He will go the route of Tebow where he hops from team to team in the preseason.

Misery? He appears to be having a great time.

Yeah, ruining his life. He's a mess, and this will not end well unless he makes a turnabout.

I don't know. If he's having such a great time, why does he keep beating up his girlfriend and checking in and out of rehab?

Manziel had a great time partying in Cleveland. The only ones in misery are the fans of that team.

Do you expect a new QB to come into the league playing like an experienced QB? And you have to grade it on a curve, considering the organization he was playing for. I think he played well enough to show he should get to keep playing.

There aren't enough good QBs for every team in the league. And it's worse when bad teams destroy QBs that would otherwise be good.

Johnny's family is quite wealthy without the NFL money. Poor Johnny, suffering from affluenza.

Writers just need something to write....

So, they project the Broncos as possibly picking up one of these criminal losers....

The Pros do not enjoy success on offense with improvising ,running quarterbacks.

There's always Colin Kaepernick.............oh, wait.

Trump on Twitter - May 8, 2014: "Teams are making a big mistake not taking Johnny Manziel - he is going to be really good (and exciting to watch).

There goes his chance to win Ohio. < /sarc>

Its a bad year for QB...that happens. You act as if things are static. Most teams don’t repeat. They were going to have to rebuild after Manning anyway.

Get some knowledge man

As a Charger fan I know what a bust is. RYAN LEAF!

Atleast Chuck Long wasn't a drunk. :) But boy could he take a dive if any defender was within 5 yards of him.

This is as much about the problems in the Browns organization, as it is about Manziel.

Releasing Manziel was all about the problems of Johnny Manziel. The Browns have more than their share of self-inflicted problems, but the only mistake they made with Manziel was drafting him in the first place. (I confess - I liked the pick at the time.)

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the Browns.
