Report: Hue Jackson wants nothing to do with Johnny Manziel
Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns have a new head coach, but the man in charge might not be Manziel’s coach for long.
Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports is reporting that Hue Jackson made it clear before he was hired by the Browns that he wants to move on from Johnny Manziel.
You ask good questions. I was told Hue made it clear he'd want to move on from Johnny. https://t.co/tkARNfBSyM

This isn’t exactly a surprise. Jackson had nothing to do with the ownership group and coaching staff that decided to draft Manziel, and Johnny Football has proven as of late that he can’t take his NFL career seriously.
Most recently, Manziel reportedly wore a disguise and went to Las Vegas the night before Cleveland’s final game of the regular season. The 23-year-old has been given numerous chances to step in and be a leader for the Browns, but he seems intent on blowing them. Perhaps being cut is exactly what Manziel wants, as it would allow him to go to the team he supposedly has his eye on.
