After Thursday’s GOP presidential debate, candidate Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) was asked in passing what he thought about Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.

He replied, “I think they’re gonna get rid of him.”

It is widely speculated that the Browns will cut ties with the former first round draft pick for his off-field troubles. New Browns head coach Hue Jackson even hinted at cutting ties with the troubled quarterback at the NFL Combine this week.
