If Manziel's waiver isn't picked up by another team he will be a free agent.

After a bumpy two years, thehave officially cut ties with quarterback JohnnyManziel. The team made the announcement around noon today.

Manziel most recently made headlines for an with his former girlfriend in Texas, as well as for traveling to Las Vegas in while undergoing concussion treatments.

WKSU commentator Terry Pluto says Manziel鈥檚 poor attitude and decisions left the Browns with no choice but to cut him.

鈥淵our quarterback has to be the guy--not that he has to be a saint and belong in a church window--but his work ethic has to be unquestioned," Pluto said. "The players have to believe that the quarterback knows where everybody鈥檚 supposed to be and what they鈥檙e supposed to do and that they can trust him.

"And you know how I was talking about trust issues with Johnny? He had huge trust issues with everybody involved. And the Browns just said, 'Enough is enough.鈥欌��

Manziel鈥檚 waiver lasts until 4 p.m.  Saturday and any team can choose to pick him up. If he鈥檚 not claimed, he becomes a free agent.
