LeBron James expressed concern for embattled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel when asked about the former Texas A&M star before the Cleveland Cavaliers’ morning shootaround Wednesday.

Johnny Manziel donned a blond wig and glasses during his visit to a Las Vegas night club Saturday, ESPN Las Vegas reports-and we may see video proof soon. The team wouldn’t say whether he was in Vegas that night or not. Manziel spent 10 weeks in a rehab facility in the offseason, and while he made six starts and showed improvement this season, he was also benched two games for misbehavior.
As Browns players cleaned out their lockers for the season Monday, most spoke highly of Brown, though they had few dealings with him in his role as counsel.
Will Burge of WTAM in Cleveland tweeted that he’s “100% positive it’s true” and said that he has a screen-shot of a Snapchat with Manziel in disquise.
Haslam agreed with left tackle Joe Thomas that quarterback is the team’s most important position.
Manziel did post something on Instagram that indicated he was in OH that night, but the theories are he simply used geotagging to fake it.
Manziel met with owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam today in Berea, according to Pro Football Talk, but did not speak with the media. Manziel was not required to be at the team’s season-ender, a 28-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelerson Sunday afternoon.
Where was Manziel? Reportedly in Las Vegas. According to The Washington Post, Manziel didn’t attend a concussion protocol session at the Browns’ facility scheduled for Sunday morning.
He didn’t make it back to Cleveland for the game, or other requirements, according to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King. Or do you think that Johnny’s time is up?

“He’s very talented”, Pettine said. “He’s very talented. If you spend some time with him, he’s a likable guy”. I’m grateful for the effort they put forth, their willingness to take coaching and their overall dedication to the foundation we built.
