The Cleveland Browns announced today that the team has released the troubled Johnny Manziel, making the quarterback a free agent and available to sign with any team.
Manziel, who the Browns traded up to select 22nd overall in the 2014 NFL draft, was signed with the Browns through 2017.
Last season, Manziel appeared in nine games for the Browns, starting six. He threw for 1,500 yards and seven touchdowns and five interceptions. He rushed for 230 yards. But his time in Cleveland has been clouded by off-the-field incidents, including the most recent accusation, in which Manziel's former girlfriend Colleen Crowley said in an affidavit that the NFL quarterback restrained, hit and threatened her on January 30. She accused Manziel of grabbing her by the hair and hitting her ear, causing her to lose her hearing.
