Report: Browns feel latest Johnny Manziel incident is a ‘non-issue’

Johnny Manziel made headlines over the weekend when he was involved in another incident with an overzealous fan, but the Cleveland Browns are reportedly not concerned about it.

A Browns source told ESPN.com that the team considers Manziel’s run-in with a fan at the Byron Nelson Classic to be a “non-issue.” Police said the 18-year-old who briefly got into it with Manziel was harassing the former Heisman Trophy winner, so the Browns feel that Manziel should not be held responsible.

In a certain sense, I disagree. I don’t doubt that Manziel was minding his own business when the fan started heckling him.
