Report: Browns expected to cut Manziel Friday

Friday is the day. Finally. Maybe. Johnny Manziel is reportedly going to be released by the Browns.

Maybe it doesn't happen on Friday, but multiple reports out of Cleveland indicate Friday is the day, with the expectation it isn't a thing that waits until the end of the day.

Both Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer and Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland (two of the more plugged-in beat writers there) agree the release of Manziel is coming.

What's taken so long? Cleveland's been getting hammered for its behavior thus far in free agency, with questionable negotiation tactics and a loss of plenty of free agents (while retaining Manziel).
