The Facts: In the wake of the latest allegations that Manziel abused his girlfriend, Erik Burkhardt released a statement this morning saying he will no longer represent Johnny Football. "It is with deep regret that, after several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, his doctors, and my client himself, I have made the decision to terminate my professional relationship with Johnny Manziel," Burkhardt said.
Diehards Line:Although he wasn't charged in the latest incident, Manziel's girlfriend has obtained a protective order to keep the QB away. And Manziel's father has expressed great concern about his son, suggesting if things don't change the QB will be dead before his next birthday. The Browns, meanwhile, are expected to cut Manziel at the start of the league year on March 9, and Manziel is likely to clear waivers and become a free agent. At that point he’ll need an agent to help him navigate his options, although it seems unlikely at this point that many teams will have any interest. Manziel is increasingly becoming a player no one wants to touch.
