Manziel was dumped by Drew Rosenhaus this week, marking the second time since February that he was dropped by an agent. The main takeaway there is that Manziel simply is not interested in being a successful football player, which is pretty much what his offseason full of partying already told us. This is a major departure from last month when Manziel said “of course” he was going to continue playing.
Perhaps T. Boone Pickens was on to something when he said this about Manziel two weeks ago.
