CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel is facing a criminal investigation after allegations that he hit his former girlfriend Colleen Crowley last weekend.
Manziel, who was ordered this week to stay away from Crowley for two years, was dropped by his agent on Friday. He is expected to be released by the Cleveland Browns next month after two tumultuous seasons as a backup and starting quarterback.
Manziel’s father, Paul, told The Dallas Morning News that he feared for his son’s safety.
“I truly believe if they can’t get him help, he won’t live to see his 24th birthday,” Paul Manziel said.
