Why hasn't Johnny Manziel been released?

Not sure why CLE hasn't cut him already.

Was wondering the same thing. I also heard on the radio that the Rams were trading Foles to Cleveland.

Cleveland might keep him around for awhile.

If Manziel gets suspended, he will have to return part of his signing bonus if he is still on the roster.

He will be gone before the season starts. But they may keep him around until they hear from the league.

Waiting for a suspension makes the most sense.

Does it save them any more making this a post June cut? Usually teams avoid doing that to players they like since they miss so much of the free agency period. Maybe they don't care at all about the fallout for Manziel, and want to maximize savings

Yes and Cleveland is charged with molding him into a man.

I'd love it if you bought Washington from Dan Snyder. Pay you starting QB at best 7 million and allow a player to do what Manziel did and consider him loyal...you would actually do a much worse job

I wonder if it was all some moronic plan to get out of CLE.

If it was, I would say it backfired.
