Yeah the thought of an NFL quarterback who comes from money flying private to vegas is completely absurd...

I doubt he's flying private jets around. Though I guess that's perfectly possible. But if so, that'd be really really easy to back check right?

Impossible that he could have put a disguise on after arriving in Vegas instead of rocking it the entire trip?

I wouldn't send 32 for Payton.

The theory of him wanting out of Cleveland becomes more and more likely by the day it seems. But shit like this will get him out of the league completely. The Cowboys keep being associated with him because Jerry Jones is an idiot when it comes to this kind of stuff. Does he have much interest from anyone else?

You're severely underestimating what having millions of dollars can do for you.

I'd give them a third for Brees and Payton.

Not if he's going through a company (I believe); that's the whole point of those companies.

I don't underestimate that he could have gotten there. I just don't see how he did it without anyone seeing. Even if he flew private out of some tiny airport, people saw him. It just seems unlikely to me that's all.

I don't think it's that expensive (relatively speaking) to get a Netjets or something. He probably dropped ~10-20,000. Just a guess though.

Can still track all flight logs. Remember all the plane tracking with Dan Gilbert's plane. He's got a lot more money than JFF

This story is just too outrageous for me to believe right now.

Haha you drive your car straight to the jet. No one would see him.

Dan Gilbert was found out because he was flying planes that were owned by companies that he was associated with. Chartering a private flight through a company is NOTHING like that.

I just don't think you know how private flights work.

You can track Gilbert's plane because it's HIS PLANE. Manziel would be flying through a company. Can't really track that.

I think Mr. Manziel knew his goose was cooked with this organization when he showed up at the Brown's facility with "concussion symptoms". There's some buzz that he didn't have such a thing at all but rather they he was inebriated.

If that's the case he truly has a problem that he needs to get turned around soon or his life at some point will be even more tragic.

You're probably right. Flight logs are placed though right? So Saturday afternoon, you couldn't see what places left airports heading straight to vegas? I feel like there are just too many smart people out there to figure this out. Also I don't think JFF is this smart..

Lastly, If this were true, if I'm the Browns I'm fining him an insane amount for missing that Sunday check in.

I guess I sorta hope it's true son they have more reason to boot his sorry ass, but don't want it to he because this will be pushed on Cleveland. Cleveland is so bad he did anything he could to get out blah blah.

@WillBurge: I can confirm with 100% certainty that Manziel was in Vegas raging with a blonde wig on. This is no BS. The video will be out soon #Browns

If he has a substance abuse problem and these acts are a result can they really "boot" him? Is there any obligation to assist him as an employee?

I have no idea. Probably not, if he's violating an agreement he had with the team. Which I thought it sounded like he had, after the rehab stint.

This is a disastrous mess...
