Johnny Manziel House: Former NFL QB Sells Cleveland Home After Release [VIDEO]
Johnny Manziel is done with Cleveland.
Months after being released from his quarterback position with the Cleveland Browns, Manziel has sold his home.
"Johnny Manziel just cut his last tie to the city of Cleveland ... cause there's a 'SOLD' sign on the front of his nice suburban home," TMZ Sports revealed on Friday. "Manziel bought the 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom home -- in a private golf course community -- back in May 2015 ... one year after the Browns selected the QB in the 1st round of the NFL Draft."
Manziel reportedly paid $438k for the home and after being released from the Browns, he put it on the market $489k.
News of the sale of Manziel's home comes just days after two of his former Browns teammates addressed his ongoing struggles.
"I was with Johnny for eight months, and Johnny is a very good guy," offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan recently told ESPN. "Johnny worked as hard for me as anybody. Everything I asked him to do, he did. He was very humble. He did not think he had all the answers. He knew he had to work."
"Unfortunately, [Manziel] had a lot of things going on inside of that building," Shanahan said. "You could tell, for obvious reasons, that he struggled with it. I am pulling for him because I do know he's a good kid. I know he's got a good heart. I know he can be a good football player."
As for recent reports, which include allegations of trashing a rental and drug use, Shanahan added, "I don't know what's going on now, but you see all the stuff. I do care about Johnny as a person, and I really hope that he can get his stuff together."
Former Browns linebacker Karlos Dansby also weighed in on Manziel's struggles, saying "nobody" on the team could have handled the pressure he was facing.
"I probably would have committed suicide. Ain't no telling what would have took place," Dansby told The Jim Rome Show. "I couldn't handle none of it. Nobody in that building could handle any of that pressure that man was under."
