Johnny Manziel's family is so concerned about his well-being that they are legitimately worried the Browns quarterback could tragically self-destruct.

"I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday," Paul Manziel, the quarterback's father, told The Dallas Morning News.

The elder Manziel says his son has declined to stay at a rehabilitation facility to address his off-the-field issues.

Earlier Friday, Manziel's agent Erik Burkhardt announced he would no longer represent Manziel after repeated attempts to get his increasingly erratic behavior under control.
