Johnny Manziel has partied his way out of Cleveland ... at least where new Browns head coach Hue Jackson is concerned.
Manziel caused a stir in Week 11 when he partied during Cleveland's bye week and later tried to lie his way out of it by claiming the footage of him was old. After getting caught in the lie, Manziel was benched by then-coach Mike Pettine for two games.
Johnny Manziel Could Consider Retirement
The signal caller eventually returned to the starting role, but his season was shortened with a concussion. Manziel, who checked into rehab to deal with alcohol problems prior to the season, was then seen paryting in disguise in Las Vegas prior to the end of the season.
Jackson was officially named Pettine's successor on Wednesday, and it seems one of his first orders of business will be to sever ties with the embattled quarterback. NFL insider Mike Garafolo revealed in a tweet that it's unlikely Manziel will remain in Cleveland:
You ask good questions. I was told Hue made it clear he'd want to move on from Johnny. https://t.co/tkARNfBSyM

Jerry Jones Has Man Crush On Johnny Manziel
The Browns finished 3-13 this past season, missing the playoffs for the 13th straight campaign. Jackson is looking to start fresh, and apparently that includes addition by subtraction where Manziel is concerned.
That means the former Heisman Trophy winner is likely to play for another team in 2016, that is if there is one out there willing to deal with the constant distractions he brings.
Jerry Jones has always been enamored by the quarterback, so perhaps he'll bring him to the Cowboys to learn under Tony Romo. Other teams that may look to add another quarterback to their roster include the Rams and 49ers.
It appears Johnny Football doesn't have a football team to call his own anymore.
