Johnny Manziel’s agent fired him today, and his Dad says he might not make it past his 24th B-Day
Today Johnny Manziel’s agent fired him. This is a rarity, when an agent fires his client, but Manziel left him no choices.
“It is with deep regret that, after several emotional and very personal discussions with his family, his doctors, and my client himself, I have made the decision to terminate my professional relationship with Johnny Manziel,” Burkhardt said. “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.”
Johnny Manziel’s dad even is worried about him. Quarterback Johnny Manziel’s family is concerned for his well-being, after he twice declined trips to rehab facilities in the last week.
“I truly believe if they can’t get him help, he won’t live to see his 24th birthday,” Paul Manziel said.
