CLEVELAND, OH -- LeBron James has dropped Johnny Manziel as a business client.
A spokesman for James said the NBA star and has ended his marketing agreement with Manziel, the embattled Browns quarterback whose behavior has him on very shaky ground with his team and Cleveland fans.
James and his associates at LRMR - long-time friends Maverick Carter, Rich Paul and Randy Mims - will no longer be working with Manziel after mutually agreeing to end their partnership. LRMR has been handling endorsement deals for Manziel since he got drafted into the NFL.
Cleveland.com first reported the end of James' ties to Manziel, who missed Cleveland's season finale Sunday after he was spotted partying in Las Vegas over the weekend. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said the 23-year-old Manziel missed a medical treatment as part of a mandatory concussion protocol he's following. Manziel was back at the team's facility Monday for exit meetings, but he did not speak with the media.

Interesting
I’m sure the list people cutting ties with Manziel is long and distinguished. Hopefully he’ll realize someday that choosing Captain Morgan everything else in life was a bad idea.
Manziel wont sell-— but he can autograph $100 dollar bills real good. Johnny boy— you’re an idiot of your own making.
I disagree, this is a clear case of an alcoholic cutting ties with everybody around him. Manziel is too busy drinking to formalize it, he’s letting everybody else do the work (and pay the lawyer fees).
If only the Browns would do the same.
I guess his endorsement value has reached zero.
Oh no!
Who is Johnny Manziel?
He’s probably been an alcoholic since high school.
His brain has been soaking in alcohol for such a long time it’s caused permanent damage.
Johnny Who?
Future starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. NOT!
Speculation is the Cowboys are going to draft Carson Wentz from North Dakota State for their QB. He’s got potential although he’s a I-AA guy, like Romo was.

I hope so, Dallas needs a new QB bad, and Romo is so injury prone now!
Wentz is intriguing but taking him at number 4 is a bit of a reach for a guy who played in Division I-AA.
I’d be happy with either Paxton Lynch of Memphis or Dak Prescott of Mississippi State.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
