Sports Illustrated’s Peter King reported that Manziel broke team rules by not reporting to the medical staff on Sunday morning prior to the game against Pittsburgh and that “the team couldn’t find him for hours”.
Manziel, who was supposed to be going through the NFL’s concussion protocol this week, was spotted at a Las Vegas casino Saturday before the Browns’ final home game of the season, according to USA Today.
“He’s his own man. You can’t really tell him what to do”, Danny Shelton, defensive lineman, said.
Cleveland Brown’s Coach Mike Pettine and General Manager Ray Farmer are out after a crushing season, and quarterback Johnny Manziel was reportedly out over the weekend, too – partying in Las Vegas in a wig. “I wasn’t”, but later the coach said that if the rumors were true, “it would be disappointing”.
Haslam has been a big supporter of Manziel since his days at Texas A&M.
“It will be up to the coaches, and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi (Brown) and the GM as to who’s on the team, ” Haslam said (via Cleveland.com) of Manziel’s future.
He could be cut or traded during the offseason.
Consequently, Johnny Manziel missed his appointment with the doctor on Sunday morning to check his concussion.
“We do have the second pick in the draft”, he said.
It appears that there is far more to the story than meets the eye.
Bitonio was asked whether he’s anxious about Manziel.
“I’m not personally anxious about him”. “He denied that that happened on Tuesday”, Grossi said. I just don’t think right now is the time to comment on that.
With that in mind, one sportsbook has already released odds on Manziel’s 2016 landing spot, and the Bears come in at 25-1. “I think that is his goal and that is everything he laid out for us in the meeting”.

“I like the demeanor in which they took the field in some of those instances where we were put on the short field”.
