Johnny Manziel loses biggest endorsement as Nike drops him

Johnny Manziel has been dropped by two agents this offseason. Now he's lost his biggest endorsement contract.

Nike confirmed to ESPN Tuesday it dropped the former Cleveland Browns quarterback following a string of incidents off the field. The company did not make the decision to terminate its multi-year deal with Manziel on Tuesday, but rather "some time" following the 2015 NFL season. As of mid-January, Nike was reportedly "on the fence" about keeping Manziel with the "Swoosh" brand.
