Browns will ‘take a stand’ on disgraceful Manziel

The new Browns coach Hue Jackson spoke with the media at the NFL Combine today. “If there’s something we can change and do differently, we’re going to do it”, Jackson said Wednesday at the NFL Combine.

‘We’re not anxious about Johnny Manziel the football player, we’re anxious about Johnny Manziel the person, and I think that’s all we need to say on the issue’. But I want to make sure that we all understand that, that behavior will not be tolerated as we move forward. Shortly after the incident came to light, the Browns issued an ominous statement about Manziel, indicating that the team would cut ties with the former Heisman Trophy victor when the new league year begins on March 9.

Cleveland has the second pick of the first round as well as the first pick of the second round, which is No. 32 overall due to the Patriots‘ having been stripped of their first rounder as a result of Deflategate.

He and others who work in detective units say it’s creating a delay because while the detective is gone, the cases he or she has been assigned do not get worked.

The Dallas Police Department said Thursday it has completed Johnny Manziel’s domestic violence investigation and referred the case to a grand jury, which will decide whether the Browns quarterback will be charged. I’ve been told he’s very lean, he could put some weight on, nowhere near as big as Carson Wentz, but 6-3, 6-4, 210 pounds, and I just think you have to make a decision if you’re the Browns as to which direction you want to go in. I don’t think you can. The same can not be said for wide receiver Josh Gordon and linebacker Armonty Bryant. “We will have no further comment at this time”. “And we’re really excited about this opportunity”. The incident was just the latest in a long chain of embarrassing actions by Manziel.

The former Bengals offensive coordinator takes over a Browns franchise that has not had a winning season since 2007 and has not reached the playoffs since 2002. But I’m not going to bend them. Jackson was asked if there is a chance Gordon could come back to the team. He was indicted two weeks ago on two counts of felony drug possession stemming from a Christmas-morning traffic stop. “I’m scared for my life, ‘” Crowley said in the affidavit. “I think I will go through the process of spending time with him and see if it’s the right fit for us”, Jackson said. I get all that, and I fully acknowledge that Jackson and Sashi Brown and the rest could fall flat on their faces and find themselves unemployed in short order. “Then on top of that, we’ll be a group that’s hard-working, that we’ll have some grit, that we’ll be physically and mentally tough and be resilient”, Jackson said.
