Browns release QB Manziel
Quarterback Johnny Manziel, the scrambling, Heisman Trophy- winning college star who hasn’t come close to matching his hype in the NFL, was released Friday by the Cleveland Browns following two turbulent and troubling seasons. The team sent out a brief statement with no comment. Manziel is contending with possible criminal charges for a recent domestic incident in which his ex- girlfriend claimed he struck and threatened to kill her.
