Cool post bro. Anything of substance to say? Anything original? Anything with any kind of point? Or just trying to troll, horrifically?
-
No. Also no need for apostrophes in Cowboys or playoffs.

Wanna place a bet? Or are you not 18 yet?

Johnny goes to Dallas and leads the Cowboy's to the playoff's after Romo goes down. Browns fans watch highlights of Manziel on ESPN every Sunday as he throwsTD to Dez Bryant. While Browns wallow in mediocrity.

Official Browns' statement is out...
Statement from Cleveland Browns EVP of Football Operations Sashi Brown on Johnny Manziel
"We've been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny's continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization. His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time."

They could have said that a week ago. Cut on Feb. 8 obviously.
Edit-not so obviously. Cap space problem if they cut Monday.

Great more fodder for the Mega Thread.

Johnny Manziel's time with the Cleveland Browns will come to an end in March, according to a league source.
The Browns released a statement from new director of football operations Sashi Brown on Tuesday that expressed disappointment in Manziel but stopped short of saying the quarterback's run in Cleveland is over.
"We've been clear about expectations for our players on and off the field. Johnny's continual involvement in incidents that run counter to those expectations undermines the hard work of his teammates and the reputation of our organization," Brown said. "His status with our team will be addressed when permitted by league rules. We will have no further comment at this time."
The reference to league rules points to the fact that the Browns do not have the salary cap space to release Manziel on Feb. 8, the day after the Super Bowl and the first day they can do so. The move will take place when the new NFL year starts March 9, according to the source. Releasing Manziel in February would count $4.6 million against the cap, and due to the cap's machinations, the Browns do not have that space -- and will not have it in February. The cap will increase in March, which will allow them to release Manziel then.
Manziel's two seasons in Cleveland were turbulent, as off-field issues overshadowed his on-field performances.
Manziel famously promised that he and the Browns would "wreck this league" on draft night in 2014, but Manziel never came close to realizing the promise he showed in college.
The Heisman Trophy winner started eight games for the Browns, and he appeared in 15. He completed 57 percent of his passes, threw 7 touchdowns, 7 interceptions and had a 74.4 rating with a 2-6 record as a starter.
A career that started with immeasurable excitement at the Browns trading up to draft Manziel ended with fans and the team ready to move on. Manziel is likely to rank as one of the Browns' biggest draft disappointments.
Manziel had a rocky rookie season that ended with him missing the final walkthrough after he was out late the night before the team flew to Baltimore. Manziel checked into rehab and treatment for undisclosed reasons shortly after the season and spent 10 weeks at Caron Treatment Center outside Reading, Pennsylvania.
He returned promising to tamp down the hype and keep himself off social media and out of the news. He did so until mid-October, when police in Avon, Ohio, questioned him after his then-girlfriend said he had hit her while driving in a car.
That led to a spiral of appearances on social media that troubled the team -- and briefly cost him a starting job.
Manziel returned for three of the final four games when Josh McCown broke his collarbone, but the week before the finale showed up late to a Wednesday team meeting looking disheveled. The team got him out of the meeting room, then announced he was in the concussion protocol.
USA Today then reported Manziel was in Las Vegas the weekend of the Browns' finale. He missed a scheduled treatment for his concussion the morning of the finale.
More social media appearances in clubs followed, and last weekend police were called for an alleged assault in Fort Worth, Texas. Dallas and Fort Worth police are investigating, as is the league.
Manziel's future is cloudy, as a team would have to sign him knowing he has to get his off-field life together while also improving as a player.
Johnny Football leaves Cleveland with his reputation and image deflated.

Sorry I'm a little premature sometimes.
But it's pretty much 100% we know he's gone now.

On NFL.com as well
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000631373/article/browns-will-cut-johnny-manziel-on-march-9
Per league rules, the Browns cannot cut Manziel until next week at the earliest. Rapoport reported the Browns have $20 million in cap space for 2015, which the carried over to 2016, like all but three teams did. Because Manziel has guarantees in his contract, they need space to absorb the cap hit in 2015. Currently, they have no space, which is why they will wait for the league year to start.

If you're referring to me as not being clear on it, you are wrong sir. I'm VERY clear on it.

Fast forward 10yrs to the NFL Network's 'A Football Life - The Johnny Manziel Story'........... It will be a tale of how not to raise your kids. The dude can't get off the Browns fast enough for me, and this time next year I won't have thought about him, much less typed his name for almost 12 months.
Enjoy your parents' $ Johnny, because you won't be making much on your own. ( although I'm sure they'll give you anything you want, just like they always have )

Just having fun with Mike H. ... his exit strategy on Manziel included telling us that Manziel dumping on the organization wasn't relevant or worthy of discussion ...
When in reality it was exactly what bought his ticket out of town.
At least with the advance notice, Johnny can get his Realtor in action.
