He's ba-ack. And doing what he does best, spending money to help him work past his issues.
Johnny Manziel took his first step toward showing the NFL he is serious about wanting to stay in the league by hiring its most high-profile agent, Drew Rosenhaus, according to CBS Sports.
Johnny Manziel's Brock-Osweiler-Stabbed-In-The-Back Moment Led To Exit From Cleveland
"CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported on Saturday that Manziel is now officially being represented by Drew Rosenhaus. The super agent currently represents dozens of NFL players, including LeSean McCoy and Rob Gronkowski.
"For Manziel, Rosenhaus will be the second agent he's hired during his brief NFL career. Manziel had previously been represented by Erik Burkhardt, but that relationship ended on Feb. 5 when Burkhardt dumped Manziel following an alleged domestic abuse incident in Texas."
Cowboys Interest In Johnny Manziel Contingent Upon Him Getting "His Life In Order"
Rosenhaus has his work cut out for him, but Manziel hardly seems like a lost cause. The Cleveland Browns did not waive Johnny Manziel immediately because they were under the impression that a couple of teams may have had an interest in trading for the embattled quarterback, and the Dallas Cowboys have declared that they won't consider Manziel "until he gets his life back in order."
Enter Rosenhaus, who would become even more legendary if he were to get a team to buy into Manziel without the quarterback getting help for his assumed substance abuse problem, instead likely will get Manziel back in rehab.
"According to La Canfora, teams won't be interested in Manziel until he makes 'some major life changes and makes real strides towards sobriety,' CBS Sports reported.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford ranks 20th in passer rating, yards per attempt, touchdown percentage wins and touchdowns thrown among 20 quarterbacks who have started 60 games (per Joe Giglio Sports), and still a two-year, $35 million contract from the Eagles after having already earned $78 million for his career.
Brock Osweiler received a four-year, $72 million contract from the Houston Texans, based on seven career starts.
So Rosenhaus isn't about to let a domestic violence accusation, a few missteps and a few thousand compromising social media photos get in the way of him remaking Johnny Football.
