DALLAS (CBSDFW) - Johnny Manziel's agent appears to have had enough of the quarterback's antics.
Manziel's agent, Erik Burkhardt, released the following statement this morning saying that he was terminating his business relationship with Manziel:
"It is with deep regret that, after several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, doctors, and my client himself, I have made the decision to terminate my professional relationship with Johnny Manziel.
Though I will remain a friend and Johnny supporter, and he knows I have worked tirelessly to arrange a number of professional options for him to continue to pursue, it has become painfully obvious that his future rests solely in his own hands. His family and I have gone to great lengths to outline the steps we feel he must take to get his life in order. Accountability is the foundation of any relationship, and without it, the function of my work is counterproductive.
I truly wish the best for Johnny and sincerely hope he can, and will, find the kind of peace and happiness he deserves."
Police released a statement last night saying that no charges have been filed against Manziel.
Later Friday, the Dallas Morning News released a report that Manziel's father's is concerned about his son.
In the article, Paul Manziel said, "I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday."
