    He's as good as unemployed and I'd guess no one is going to touch him. He hasn't shown enough on the field to cover all of the issues off of it. The kid needs serious help out of the limelight. Maybe if he can get himself right, he can try again in a couple of years. There's just no hint that he's willing or capable of doing the things he needs to do.

    He's top notch at clipboard holding and ballcap wearing.

    It would appear the pocket squirrel has scrambled for his last first down..

    When he runs out of money (or is simply less rich), he'll probably make an attempt to change. But that still won't answer the question of whether or not he can play at a high level in this league.

    But again, I probably shouldn't comment on the subject as I'm apparently "obsessed with hating him"... or whatever else I was accused of.

    And that's the last straw in his NFL career. Especially with all the domestic violence stuff in the past season, I don't see any NFL team taking him.

    This was probably the most predictable bust in NFL history.

    Manzielots continue to defend him. It's never his fault. Everyone is against him. Let Johhny be Johnny.

    On Johnny Manziel: Fort Worth PD said no offense occurred within city limits of Fort Worth. Dallas PD said no update on its investigation.

    Dallas PD on Manziel: investigative efforts have not resulted in filing of a criminal complaint and the incident is determined to be closed.

    So Fort Worth and Dallas police said they haven't charged Johnny Manziel and their cases are closed. #NFL's probe is ongoing. #Browns


    &mdash; @NateUlrichABJ

    Dallas police do not plan to charge #Browns Manziel and their criminal investigation is closed. Fort Worth not charging him either

    Love is a biotch. Intense. Sounds harrowing. I'm sure this will settle down once they get some distance and time. Probably a good year or two though for Manziel to get over his connection to her. It probably went down exactly as described. And your basically looking at an OJ and Matt Barnes situation were jealousy gets the best of him.

    I think it's amazing how far to the edge jealousy can take someone. You really don't have any control. And then 2 years later you have no idea why you would do something like that over someone who doesn't love you. How utterly ridiculous you were.

    Manziel is messed up right now and just needs some help. There's nothing he's done that isn't correctible, but he's teetering on the edge of unfixable.

    I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog. Why the hell should any team trust him as a QB?

    If he is indeed a woman beater he will be comfortable in Dallas

    At least we did something good on draft day by not selecting him. For his sake.. get help and drop the limelight and friends.
