As expected, the Browns have released Johnny Manziel. The team basically said that they were ready to cut ties with Manziel more than a month ago, so it’s slightly surprising that it took them as long as it did to get rid of him. But Manziel has been busy partying all week—and he doesn’t have an agent anymore—so maybe they just had trouble tracking him down to let him know they were through with him.

Regardless, here’s how the Browns announced the end of the Manziel era in Cleveland:
