Johnny Manziel says he will forever hate Cleveland

You would think after all these years that Johnny Manziel's heart may have softened toward the Cleveland Browns, and you'd be wrong; in fact, really wrong.

>If anything, Manziel's heart has hardened against the franchise. Manziel hates Cleveland a lot, as he told Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco on their podcast Nightcap, he has nothing but contempt for the whole organization.

>"I sit here today and I go back on forth, am I going to let Cleveland off the hook, let it go or am I going to sit here with hate and animosity in my heart for the rest of my life," Manziel admitted. "I finally sit here today, and I'm like, [Expletive] it, I think I'm gonna be pissed at them and hate them forever. It is what it is man, no love for the Browns."

— ESPN Cleveland (@ESPNCleveland) June 27, 2026The Browns picked Manziel late in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was picked 22nd overall, but within two years, the Browns cut him mainly due to his off-the-field issues; his lack of on-field production hurt him the most.

>In his short time with the team, he only appeared in 14 games, starting eight of them, and threw for only 1600 yards with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.

>But even Manziel admitted in past interviews that he was more concerned about partying than he was about winning, so not exactly sure why the continued bitterness toward a franchise that was the only one willing to give him an opportunity.

>But he not only wants the Browns to fail, but he wants a total collapse.

>"I'm rooting for 0-16 seasons every season," Manziel stated bluntly.
