Johnny Manziel suspended four games for substance abuse

Free agent quarterback Johnny Manziel has been suspended four games for a violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, the league announced Thursday.

The suspension is unrelated to his current unresolved assault case in Dallas, stemming from an altercation with his former girlfriend earlier this year. That case remains under investigation by the NFL, league spokesman Brian McCarty told USA TODAY Sports.

Should Manziel sign with a team, he would be subject to additional punishment under the personal conduct policy, pending the outcome of the league's investigation.

1. We are one "Found guilty in Court" headline away from never hearing of Johnny Football again.

3. I think he's finished for good

Even without a criminal/civil judgement against him, no NFL team is going to take a gamble. It's a wasted roster spot. Maybe he makes Arena ball, the CFL or plays in Europe.

2. Suspended without a team

Down and out!
