According to Bleacher Report, the Cleveland Browns dropped the rising quarterback in March 2016 after only playing 15 games over the span of two seasons. Johnny Manziel was also fighting an alleged assault case against his girlfriend at the time — the charges have since been dismissed — and rumors were swirling that he was showing up to practice intoxicated, per CBS Sports.
In 2018, he played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes and in 2019 he played for the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football League. And while he has continued playing football, during a February 2021 episode of the "Green Light" podcast, Manziel revealed he was trying to play professional golf — and that he would give himself 12 years to accomplish that goal. "I'm gonna grind this out and see how good I can get and see if I can enter some tournaments and see if I can go play professional golf eventually. I think it is a very uphill battle, but that's what I'm setting for my goals," he explained.
In July 2021, he got the opportunity to flex his skills during the 51st Higginbotham Texas State Open at The Cascade, but instead was faced with a rude awakening after an underwhelming performance. According to the Golf Channel, Manziel came in last. Despite the outcome, Manziel felt good about being back in his hometown doing what he loves. Though he didn't "play the way I wanted to," he acknowledged, "It's a good first experience for me and had to start somewhere," he told Tyler Morning Telegraph.
