A turbulent offseason for former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel got worse last week as Drew Rosenhaus ended his deal with Manziel less than a month after it began. Rosenhaus announced that he is giving Manziel a short period to time to seek treatment, otherwise the deal will be permanently terminated. Manziel's former agent Erik Burkhardt ended his relationship Manziel in Febraruy, and also called for Manziel to seek help.

Denver Broncos star Von Miller - who was briefly believed to be living with Manziel until the QB admitted he was lying about the situation - has vowed to help Manziel "back to being Johnny Manziel," and on Saturday Miller promised to support Manziel "no matter what." Miller visited DeSoto High School in Texas Saturday where he was presented with a key to the city of DeSoto. In a press conference afterward, Miller explained why he's determined to help Manziel, and noted that he emerged from a similar situation as a star player.
