Johnny Manziel has officially been waived by the Cleveland Browns. This didn’t come as a surprise to fans after Manziel’s recent issues in the media, including a grand jury investigation into an incident with his former girlfriend. Head coach Hue Jackson also publicly acknowledged the idea of removing Manziel from the team.
The question now is, will he use this as an opportunity to redeem himself? Does he have a future in the NFL?
Johnny Manziel told TMZ Sports that he was still completely dedicated to football. Assuming that Manziel clears the waivers, he can choose which team he wants to play with next. It’s reported that Manziel has three teams that are still interested in him, despite his troubled history. While many of his fans have now grown wary of Manziel, we are hoping for a comeback and redemption from this star athlete.
Manziel’s story seems like a tragic tale of a talented young man with amazing athletic potential who is giving it away. The former Texas A&M star and 2012 Heisman trophy winner has had a stint in rehab last January. Despite his family offering more support, the future of Manziel is still unknown. Many believe their is still hope for Manziel to get his NFL career back on track. The quarterback has proven that he is a fantastic player in the past. Let’s hope that Manziel will make the most of this opportunity for a fresh start.
