Johnny Manziel Released: Cleveland Browns Teammate Confirms Exit From Team? [VIDEO]
Offensive lineman Joe Thomas has seemingly confirmed Johnny Manziel's exit from the Cleveland Browns.
Following a series of domestic assault allegations against him, Manziel, who spent a couple of months in rehab last year, is expected to be released from the team, and according to Thomas, there doesn't appear to be any question that he will not be seen during the 2016-2017 season.
“It’s a sad end to the story in Cleveland for Johnny,” Thomas told Cleveland.com on Thursday. “He’s a guy that personally I like. I believe he has a lot of talent. He’s got the talent to be an NFL quarterback, but it obviously hasn’t worked out so far.”

In addition to his stint in rehab, Manziel was accused of assaulting former girlfriend Colleen Crowley, a Texas-based student, twice in the last several months. However, he has yet to be release by the team due to rules that don't allow such a thing until the new league year opens on March 9.
“It’s just a sad turn of events right now,” Thomas said. “Whatever he’s dealing with, I hope that he’s able to get that under control and get things straightened out and hopefully if football’s important to him, be able to put everything he has in his life into football."
