Cleveland Browns clean house again, fire coach Mike Pettine, GM Ray Farmer

But Johnny Football to Chicago seems like a longshot considering the Bears’ apparent commitment to Jay Cutler, plus the fact that Chicago was the only NFC team to skip Manziel’s pro day in 2014.

Manziel, who was inactive due to a concussion for the Browns’ season finale at FirstEnergy Stadium, was spotted at the Planet Hollywood Casino playing blackjack.

For that reason, after firing Browns general manager Ray Farmer and head coach Mike Pettine on Sunday, Haslam indicated that Cleveland’s front office will look quite different next season, both in terms of structure and personnel.

What are your thoughts the Cleveland Browns situation with Johnny Manziel, Mike Pettine, and Ray Farmer?

Pettine, who was named the 15th full-time head coach of the Browns in January 2013, compiled a 10-22 record in two seasons.

The weekend situation became murkier when Manziel did not report to the team’s training facility Sunday to continue treatment for his concussion.

Lastly and just as importantly, I want to thank the fans of the Cleveland Browns.

“Mike is the epitome of what we want the Browns to be: tough, aggressive and innovative with a blue-collar, team-first mentality”, Haslam said when he appointed Pettine almost two years ago.

The only sad thing about Manziel not being able to speak to reporters is he’d probably say something about his whereabouts that would further the Manziel talk.

“It’s tougher every time it happens because you realize you are closer to your end”, he said. “You can’t really tell him what to do”.

Haslam told the media that the Browns hadn’t made a decision on Manziel’s future with the team, but that it would be up to the coaches to decide. “Two years ago Mr. Haslam fell in love with Coach Pettine for a reason and unless that reason has changed I would urge maybe some continuity”. While his teammates finished the season, Manziel was reportedly in Las Vegas. The GM will report to Brown, the coach to Haslam. Gilbert spent most of the season inactive on game days.

Johnny may have a lot more free time on his hands to party if he’s not careful.
