Even though he is currently in rehab trying to better himself and get his life together, it seems the Cleveland Browns really don’t want to wait and see how things turn out with Johnny Manziel. According to reports the team is ready to move on from him after just one season and after they traded up in the draft to get him. Seems a bit dramatic but when millions of dollars are at stake, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

If you ask me, giving up on Johnny Football so soon would be a huge mistake for the Browns. For starters, just having him on the roster will help sell tickets for a franchise that has been an absolute joke since the team moved back to Cleveland.
It’s not like they have other options that are so much better than Johnny at the moment, but they also don’t have time for a kid to grow up.
“I think about 90 percent [the Browns] have moved on [from Manziel] in their own minds except that they really don’t know who they’re going to get when Johnny leaves rehab, which has been an extended stay — a two-month stay,” ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said Tuesday during an appearance on Mike & Mike, via NJ.com. “He should be getting out in the first week of April if they’re satisfied that he’s ready to go out and get into society and whatever deep-rooted problems that he had has been addressed. OK, now he’s part of your depth chart. You have Josh McCown.”
I hope someone with a brain in the organization realizes giving up on a player after just his rookie season is way too harsh and might wind up biting them in the end.
