Text: Lawyer seeks plea deal, doubts Manziel can stay clean (Yahoo Sports)

Manziels representatives say the troubled quarterback was involved in a hit-and-run accident, and that the former Texas A&M star wasnt seriously injured. Manziels publicist, Denise Michaels, said the former Cleveland player reported the incident to police, but attorney Bob Hinton says Dallas police deny that a report was filed. It wasnt immediately clear when or where the accident happened. (Smiley N. Pool/The Dallas Morning News via AP, Pool, file)

An attorney handling Johnny Manziel's domestic violence case expressed doubts about the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback's ability to stay clean and said he was given a receipt that shows Manziel may have spent more than $1,000 at a drug paraphernalia store just 15 hours after he was involved in a hit-and-run crash, according to a lengthy text message accidentally sent to The Associated Press. Defense attorney Bob Hinton's text indicated Manziel's legal team was seeking a plea deal with prosecutors, but suggested that could be tricky. Hinton also wrote that he had been emailed a ''heads up'' receipt ''which purports to reflect'' that Manziel made a purchase of $1,018.77 at a Gas Pipe store at 12:03 p.m. on Tuesday, less than a day after his crash.
