The move marks the second time in two months an agent has cut ties with Manziel.

Last week Rosenhaus said that he informed Manziel of his decision to terminate their relationship, pending a 5-day probation during which the decision could be reversed if Manziel entered a rehab or treatment facility. Otherwise the termination will become permanent. This is a really, really nice young man. I think he has a future that’s bright if he will take the next steps. His exasperation with Manziel was obvious, and Rosenhaus hoped that the termination would be the wake-up call Manziel needs.
Aside from losing his largest marketing deal with Nike, Nissan and MusclePharm are no longer promoting a relationship either.
Panini quickly followed suit, according to a report.
Panini signed Manziel during his rookie season to an exclusive deal for signing autographs but recently slashed the prices on Browns items that were signed by the former Brown.
Manziel partied with Josh Gordon at Coachella, only two days after Rosenhaus issued the warning.
The New York Post reported, through Nicholas Goodwin, owner of rental firm LA Exotic Life that “Manziel was passed out…”
Everyone can see the destructive path Manziel is traveling except the quarterback and his so-called friends – the enablers who ride shotgun, play wingmen and quite possibly have their own substance-abuse issues. A real estate broker says that evidence of booze and drugs were everywhere. The NFL is investigating whether Manziel violated its personal conduct policy in that incident.

A North Texas grand jury is expected to hear the domestic violence case against Johnny Manziel this week. Manziel faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine if the grand jury chooses to indict him on the misdemeanor assault charge, which stems from allegations made by his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley.
