A domestic assault charge against Johnny Manziel has been dismissed, as the Associated Press writes. Manziel first reached an agreement with prosecutors to dismiss the charge in December of last year. On Thursday, the court confirmed that he officially completed the requirements of the deal.
The agreement stipulated that he take an anger management course, participate in the NFL’s substance-abuse program, and stay away from former girlfriend Colleen Crowley. Alternatively, Manziel could have faced up to a year in jail and a $4K fine.
Of course, Manziel will likely have to serve a suspension before playing in the NFL again. He’ll also need a team to actually sign him. The Cowboys kept tabs on Manziel in the past and Saints coach Sean Payton met with him during Super Bowl week, but both teams have downplayed their level of interest in him.
Manziel, who turns 26 on Wednesday, hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2015 campaign. In eight career starts for the Browns, the former first-round pick completed 57% of his passes for 1,675 yards, seven scores, and seven picks. His overall passer rating was just 74.4.
I got faith in Johnny let’s go!
There goes his chances of ever being a Dallas Cowboy
Isn’t this the player they look for? Throw it on the resume…
I wonder if this will have any effect on his potential CFL career. Last I heard, he either signed or had a verbal agreement with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for 2018
Perfect fit for the Raiders.
Yeah especially with Derek Carr just signing a big contract
Raiders could always use a backup, especially when considering how often Derek Carr gets injured.
Cowboys interest just went down the drain
Why are Cowboy and R8er fans chatting here? Dipstick loving communists….
