Drew Rosenhaus to Johnny Manziel: Get treatment or find a new agent

Johnny Manziel’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the troubled quarterback needs to get help if he wishes to still be represented by him.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, highly successful NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus told his client Johnny Manziel that “either he gets treatment or he will no longer represent him.”

While Rosenhaus has taken on many risky clients before, he’s not messing with Manziel, whose live is spiraling out of control after only two years in the NFL. Manziel partied his way off the Cleveland Browns only two years after being their second first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Texas A&M has made himself virtually untouchable by NFL general managers as a result of his many nights out in places like Los Angeles, Dallas, and Las Vegas.

With rumors of him living with former Aggies star and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller, to it being more likely with former Browns burnout Josh Gordon who can’t pass NFL drug tests, to domestic violence issues with his ex-girlfriend, to now a supposed hit-and-run, there’s not a lot of positive spin Rosenhaus can put out for his client on his path to complete self-destruction.

It’s sad that his agent had to tell one of ESPN’s most talented NFL reporters in Schefter that if Manziel still wants to be an NFL quarterback with Rosenhaus as his agent, he’ll have to go seek substance abuse treatment before he loses all hope at reviving his short NFL career.

Hopefully, Manziel will hear Rosenhaus’ message and commit himself to getting sober. At only 23 years old, it’s hard to imagine that he’s doing everything in his power to stay out of the league. He’s running out of opportunities to rectify his football career.
