Police look into incident between Johnny Manziel and ex-girlfriend

It's not even February, and Johnny Manziel has been in the news way too much this offseason.

First, he was spotted partying in Dallas. Which for any other NFL player is no big deal, so maybe he should get a pass for that. But then on Saturday morning, news broke that police in Fort Worth were called in to investigate an incident between the Cleveland Browns quarterback and his ex-girlfriend. There were no arrests. David Watkins of NBC5 in Dallas/Fort Worth first reported the news. In an email to CBS News' Omar Villafranca, Fort Worth police confirmed the incident and described it as an "altercation."

Fort Worth police released a report to media. Via the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a 23-year-old female (identified by the Plain Dealer as Colleen Crowley, Manziel's girlfriend at the time of another incident last October) stated "she was involved in a disturbance with her ex-boyfriend." The report said the "complainant was uncooperative with officers on scene."

"The complainant also advised our officers of concerns that she had regarding the well-being of her ex-boyfriend," the report said. Officers tried tracking Manziel down, even using a police helicopter, and it "was later determined by officers that the ex-boyfriend was safe and in no danger." The report said the Fort Worth Police Department "is actively working with Dallas PD to determine if a criminal offense occurred."

Even though he wasn't arrested or charged, at some point Manziel has to avoid situations that put him in a bad light. The Browns seem close to cutting him, even though owner Jimmy Haslam says the relationship can be fixed. All other signs point to the Browns being done with the 22nd pick of the 2014 draft. What team will want Manziel as a free agent? He hasn't shown he can be a quality starter in the NFL. He has physical limitations he might never get over, and doesn't appear willing to commit to putting in the preparation time needed to be a great quarterback. When you combine a questionable skill set with the constant off-field circus, teams aren't going to want to deal with that.

Manziel needed to have a quiet offseason (we've heard that before, of course). The Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers haven't even left for Super Bowl 50, and Manziel is already in the news for more nonsense. It's probably a decent bet it won't be the last time that happens, either.
