Johnny Manziel's ex-wife recently gave birth to actor/rapper Nick Cannon’s eighth child. Cannon has hosted several television shows, including America’s Got Talent, Lip Sync Battle Shorties, and The Masked Singer. He was previously married to pop star Mariah Carey.

Bre Tiesi and Manziel tied the knot in 2018, but divorced in March 2019. Manziel was a first-round pick for the Cleveland Browns in 2014. Following a year in the NFL, Manziel moved to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, Memphis Express, and the FCF Zappers across different American football leagues.

He recently expressed interest in pivoting to a golf career.

Manziel is also a former Heisman trophy winner and grabbed much of the headlines while playing college football at Texas A&M University.

A brief history of Cleveland Browns quarterbacks, including Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield

The Cleveland Browns are one of the oldest NFL franchises. They have a rich history that includes standout players like running back Jim Brown, tight end Ozzie Newsome, and offensive lineman Joe Thomas. Mirroring the blue-collared Northwest region of Ohio, the Browns emulate a certain toughness.

Their history of quarterbacks has not been as successful though. Although armed with multiple high draft picks, they have been unable to find a generational talent at the position.

Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde were possibly the best quarterback talent that the Browns had. The team has since fielded the likes of Tim Couch, Kelly Holcomb, Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, Brady Quinn, Colt McCoy, Brian Hoyer, and Josh McCown. They briefly flirted with Johnny Manziel, but that experiment did not last.

When the team drafted Baker Mayfield with the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, it looked like they had hit the jackpot. Mayfield went on to set the Browns rookie record for touchdown passes and led the team to a playoff win in 2020. The win happened to be their first in the postseason since Art Modell moved the team to Baltimore in 1995.

Despite that, the Browns decided to move on from Mayfield and signed quarterback Deshaun Watson to a fully-guaranteed $230 million contract this offseason. The team traded Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers even as Watson continues to battle civil suits for alleged sexual misconduct.
