CLEVELAND -- Johnny Manziel entered treatment on Wednesday, adviser Brad Beckworth told ESPN.com on Monday through a spokesman for the Browns quarterback.
Johnny Manziel has entered treatment to work on "areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate," according to a spokesman.
"Johnny knows there are areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate, and he thought the offseason was the right time to take this step," Beckworth said.
"On behalf of Johnny and his family, we're asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland."
The quarterback is expected to be in rehab at least a few weeks, but the amount of time depends largely on what doctors recommend, according to a source close to Manziel.

(32,064 posts)it's a very smart move to try to get him under control now. He is young and can still have a very productive career if he is reigned in.

Just read on CBS Sports that Haslam, the owner of the Browns, only brought in Manziel to sell tickets and jerseys. Both Bridgewater and Carr were more well regarded within the organization.
