Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his new agent.
Rosenhaus confirmed in a text message that he is now representing Manziel, who was waived by Cleveland following two trouble-filled seasons. Manziel faces legal consequences from a domestic incident in Texas. The NFL is also investigating the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, who played for Texas A&M.
Rosenhaus may have a tough time finding a new team for Manziel until the QB gets his other issues resolved.
Manziel’s former agent, Erik Burkhardt, cut ties with the 23-year-old following last season.
Browns: The Browns are taking another look at Robert Griffin III.
The free-agent quarterback visited on Saturday with the Browns, a person familiar with the situation said. Griffin, who was released earlier this month by Washington, reportedly met with new Cleveland coach Hue Jackson and members of the front office at the team’s facility in Berea, Ohio.
The Browns have the second pick in this year’s draft and are considering California’s Jared Goff and North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz.
Seahawks: Seattle has agreed to terms on a new contract with veteran linebacker and special teams standout Mike Morgan.
Morgan first joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2011. While his playing time on defense has been limited, he has become a vital part of Seattle’s special teams. Morgan started two games at strongside linebacker last season.
