Johnny Be Gone: Browns release Manziel after 2 seasons (Yahoo Sports)

Johnny Football has been tossed aside. Quarterback Johnny Manziel, the scrambling, Heisman Trophy-winning college star who hasn't come close to matching his hype in the NFL, was released Friday by the Cleveland Browns following two turbulent and troubling seasons. Manziel's unceremonious exit - the team sent out a brief statement with a few stats and no comment - ends a drama-filled stay in Cleveland for the 23-year-old, who faces an uncertain future on and off the field.
