Johnny Manziel

The latest turn in the never-ending Johnny Manziel saga came Sunday when it was reported that he went missing in New York. Manziel’s spokesperson told Cleveland.com that she has been in contact with the 23-year-old.

“I have heard from him several times in the last 24 hours and so have a few others,” she told Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.

Manziel was supposed to host a party in the Hamptons for his friends and family, but Manziel never arrived for his helicopter, which left after 15 minutes waiting for him. This came just after the former quarterback was confronted outside of the Trump Soho in New York Friday night by the owner of the car rental agency that rented a Mercedes SUV to Manziel that he crashed back in April, per TMZ.

Manziel’s nosedive continues to accelerate, and has even had his friends expressing their concerns to TMZ, similar to that of his father’s thinking that Manziel could lose his life.

From TMZ:

Here’s what we know … Manziel has become even more reckless with his drug problem recently — even blowing lines in front of people he barely knows.

“He’s in a horrible downward spiral,” one source very close to the QB tells TMZ Sports.  

There have been multiple serious attempts to help Johnny — with one group of close friends recently sitting him down and “confronting” him about his situation. But, as one source put it, “He flipped out and would not hear it.”

Over the course of the past year, Manziel has lost his Nike endorsement, his first agent Erik Burkhardt back in February, his second agent Drew Rosenhaus back in April, and turned himself in to Dallas police for his misdemeanor domestic violence charge against former girlfriend Colleen Crowley after allegedly striking her back in February.

Things definitely look like they’re getting worse for Manziel before they get better. With no work in the NFL to limit his time to partying and other things, it seem like that trend will continue unless there’s a dramatic change in his day-to-day life.
