The Browns do not require concussed players to be at the stadium for home games.
And casino patron John Hornacek overheard a blackjack dealer exclaim “We’ve got Johnny Manziel with us tonight” after looking at the football player’s photo identification.
Now, according to the MMQB’s Peter King, it appears that the Browns have all but declared publicly that they want to cut ties with the former Texas A&M star, and Manziel could be headed to the Dallas Cowboys next.
They fired Mike Pettine on Sunday alongside General Manager Ray Farmer.
Manziel was not playing Sunday against Pittsburgh following his concussion last week. “I just don’t think right now is the time to comment on that”. While he and the Browns struggled to get any momentum going this season, Johnny found some drama off the field.
Pettine’s departure, confirmed by the club in an open letter to fans from owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam on the team’s website, followed that of general manager Ray Farmer.
“I’m not into pleading,”Pettine said”.
OR stormed to the big lead early behind quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., but he was knocked out of the game late in the second quarter after taking a hard hit to the head. The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have fired Jim Tomsula, while the Cleveland Browns announced that they fired Mike Pettine.
Thomas had stressed that it was vital for Manziel to regain the trust of teammates this season after he spent 10 weeks in rehab from January through April 2015.
The Cleveland Browns took a flamethrower to their coaching staff after Week 17, and promoted a mystery man to ru the front office moving forward.
Pettine is the fifth Cleveland coach in eight years to lose his job following a season-ending loss to the Steelers.
After picking his law degree from Harvard, Brown went to work as an attorney, where he need up up working for Dick Cass, who is now the president of the Baltimore Ravens.
Farmer was suspended by the National Football League for the first four games this season for texting to the sideline during 2014 games. When Manziel failed to report, the Browns reportedly tried to contact Manziel by phone and couldn’t reach him.
The 49ers plan to fire Tomsula after just one season as head coach, but will keep general manager Trent Baalke, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Sunday.
