Controversy and Manziel are practically synonymous so it isn't with much surprise that he's back in the news. What is surprising is the fallout that is short career is enduring as a result.
The once heralded first round pick of the Browns in 2012 was videoed partying during the Browns bye-week with a bottle of champagne. He entered rehab in early February for alcohol related problems. He left rehab in mid-April saying he was "a changed man". He released a statement that in part said:
Pettine said he considered just benching Manziel but instead busted him down to a 3rd stringer. Source
I really hope this guy get's his act together. People like his that achieve big and disappoint even bigger can turn in to the worst train wrecks.
So. That didn't last long did it?
Browns are still first in line for the #1 pick next year. Manziel will probably be packing by then. What a waste.

I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect. I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say.
