Browns owner threatens Johnny Manziel, Josh Gordon
It was the last straw after the Browns missed the playoffs once again.


Quarterback Johnny Manziel's future with the Cleveland Browns was reportedly in doubt on Sunday after he hosted a Friday night house party that may have led to the rookie and wide receiver Josh Gordon being late to team events on Saturday. After Cleveland's 20-10 loss to Baltimore on Sunday, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam had harsh words for Manziel, even without mentioning the quarterback directly:
#Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said team will work w/young guys who messed up, but if they can't grow up & be responsible, they won't be w/team.

— Nate Ulrich (@NateUlrichABJ) December 28, 2014 #Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said if those guys can't grow up & be responsible to team & fans, "then they won't be with the Cleveland Browns."
— Nate Ulrich (@NateUlrichABJ) December 28, 2014 Haslam: This is ultimate team game & players who can't show up 4 meetings, can't make practice & weight lifting "disrespect" team, coaches

Former top prospect and team veteran Joe Thomas also had harsh words for some of the Browns' suspended players.
#Browns LT Joe Thomas on Josh Gordon, Johnny Manziel, Justin Gilbert being punished: "It's part of the #NFL. Everyone has bad apples."
— Nate Ulrich (@NateUlrichABJ) December 28, 2014 As for the Browns’ quarterback woes, Haslam said he will address them, whether Manziel is the answer or not.
#browns owner Haslam said "clearly qB is important and we've got to figure it out"
