The Facts: Manziel has re-hired agent Erik Burkhardt to help him craft a comeback, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Wednesday morning. Both reported that the former Browns quarterback was first asked to make "serious commitments" to Burkhardt, who dropped Manziel as a client last February. Now the former Texas A&M star is drawing "real interest from teams" at this week's NFL Scouting Combine on Indianapolis, according to the NFL Network duo.

Diehards Line: In case you somehow missed it, Manziel was released by the Browns last March following two ultra-turbulent seasons in Cleveland. The 24-year-old quarterback was suspended four games last year for a substance-abuse violation and found himself embroiled in a misdemeanor assault charge after he was accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend, which reportedly is "on track to be dismissed under conditions," per the Dallas Morning News. As NFL.com's Marc Sessler reminded readers, "a hyped-up first-round draft pick by the Browns in 2014," Manziel started just eight games for the team, throwing seven touchdowns and seven picks and failing to morph into the superstar under center Cleveland expected. While he improved on the field in 2015, Manziel's progress was quickly undermined by a barrage of off-the-field issues that evolved into a chaotic year-plus away from the game. Sessler added: "While his skills remain enticing, it's fair to wonder if Manziel will ever become an NFL starter in a league where quarterbacks obsess over the position night and day. ..." It's safe to say we'll be hearing more on this one -- whether we want to or not.
