Johnny Manziel's Contract with Nike Terminated: Latest Comments and Reaction

Nike has reportedly terminated its contract with Johnny Manziel.

According to ESPN.com's Darren Rovell, Nike ended its deal with Manziel "some time" after the conclusion of the 2015 NFL season.

Rovell also noted other brands have stopped associating with the former Heisman Trophy winner: "Nissan and MusclePharm, brands that used the QB, are no longer promoting an association. Other deals Manziel signed his rookie year, including with Snickers and McDonald's, were one-off commercial spots that concluded by the time Manziel went to rehab in early 2015."

Prior to the Cleveland Browns drafting him 22nd overall in 2014, Manziel signed a multiyear deal with the apparel giant.

Rovell, citing sources, reported at the time of Manziel's original agreement with Nike that his deal was the "highest price paid" for a rookie in the 2014 draft class, though terms of the pact were not disclosed.

The free-agent quarterback has had various off-field problems since entering the NFL. The Associated Press (via NFL.com) reported Tuesday that his domestic violence case, stemming from an alleged January incident with his ex-girlfriend, will be sent to a grand jury Thursday.

Emily Smith of the New York Post reported Thursday that Manziel and his friends allegedly threw a party that caused $32,000 in damages at a rented house in West Hollywood, California.

Manziel's status as a dynamic athlete—let alone one of the highest-profile college stars of the last decade during his time at Texas A&M—is deteriorating rapidly. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that agent Drew Rosenhaus dropped Manziel as a client—the second time in two months the quarterback lost an agent.

Just 23 years old, Manziel may get a second chance in the NFL, but he has a lot of work to do to earn the trust of teams.
