Browns done with Manziel? Benched vs. BAL

So much for the Johnny Football era beginning in Cleveland. Johnny Manziel is already done as the Browns' starting quarterback.

On Tuesday, Browns head coach Mike Pettine announced that Manziel is now the third-string quarterback in Cleveland, behind both Josh McCown and Austin Davis. Sources told CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora that Pettine is not planning on playing Manziel again this season and that ownership is strongly considering parting ways with their former first-round pick.

The decision to bench Manziel comes just days after a video emerged that seemed to show Manziel partying and holding a bottle of alcohol.
