The NFL has suspended former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel for four games during the 2016-2017 NFL season.

Manziel, who is currently a free agent, is being suspended for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, according to TMZ Sports. Details about what substance it was are not known at this time. (RELATED: The NFL Is Ready To Help Johnny Manziel Get Sober)

However, if Manziel sits out the 2016 season, then the suspension will not roll over into the future. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Hottest Photos Of Ronda Rousey On The Internet)

This move almost certainly means that the ormer Heisman winner will not be playing football this upcoming season. His off-the-field issues combined with a massive suspension is not an attractive offer to any team. (SLIDESHOW: This Gorgeous Olympian Loves To Show Off Lots Of Skin)
