While Manziel did nothing illegal, the sight of him out on the town must be disconcerting to the Browns and coach Mike Pettine, who selected the former first-round pick as the starter for Cleveland’s final six games.

According to TMZ, Manziel was spotted drinking with his friends at the RIO Rooftop nightclub on Thursday night, and on Friday the party continued at Summit, where witnesses say he was roaming the club with a bottle of Dom Pérignon in hand.
Pictures and videos surfaced of Manziel out at a nightclub in Austin, Texas, last weekend.
Nonetheless, Manziel has shown steady improvement in his second year with the Browns.
Johnny Manziel may have partied during his bye week.
“There’s all kinds of people that come out with videos, could be old videos, could be all kinds of different things, I’m not in a state to speak on it, because my focus has been on this today and what really matters in this game on Monday, so that’s where my focus has been”.
Manziel was seen in an Instagram video – now removed from the social media site – with a DJ identified as “DJ LX” at a rooftop lounge in the state capitol.
But with last week’s announcement that the Browns were turning the starting role over to Manziel, we thought we may be able to focus on what Manziel is doing on the field.
He also said he was not going to do anything that would “be a distraction to this team or be an embarrassment to the organization”. “I’m going to get a chance to go and relax like everybody else in this locker room is”.
Manziel spent 70 days in a rehab center from late January through early April being treated for an undisclosed dependency.

“I haven’t seen anything, this has been my main focus was to get back, getting prepared and coming here for this on Monday”. The Browns return to practice Tuesday.
