We already know that Johnny Manziel is walking a fine line in Cleveland after last season, but did he finally crossed that line?

Manziel, who just returned from rehab recently, got into an incident with a fan at a golf tournament over the weekend.

Reportedly, the fan harassed Manziel because he didn’t give him an autograph, so out of frustration, Manziel threw a water bottle at him.

Neither Manziel or the fan filed charges with the police, but after this latest incident, is time running out for Manziel in Cleveland?

“The only criminal offense that occurred was somebody that was in Johnny’s group pushed the 18 year old. It was not Johnny, that’s misinformation that’s out there, and (the 18 year old) didn’t want to press charges,” said James McLellan, public information officer for the Irving Police Department.

“It was a bunch of nothing.”

You can’t blame Manziel for this latest incident, everyone has their limits, even the Browns, and it’s already being reported that despite cleaning up his act, Manziel still may not start for the Cleveland; ever.

That’s got to be a hard pill to swallow if you are a guy expected to be a savior of the franchise. Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland, said that he thinks the Browns are ready to move on to Josh McCown.

“It is why Johnny Manziel – tortured enough by his own personal recovery from an unspecified substance abuse problem – is a fish out of water in his second season with the Browns,” Grossi wrote.

“The Browns aren’t trying to reinvent Manziel,they are, by all appearances, moving on.”

Moving on from a guy who looks as if he is trying to get his life together, but as each day passes, it’s looking as if it may be too little too late.
