Browns rookie [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] reportedly got off to a bad start this week when he was late to work.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Manziel and some other rookies on the team were disciplined because they didn’t show up on time to a meeting on Monday morning.
“He and a few other rookies misread the schedule and they were, I think, fined for being a couple minutes late on Monday morning,” Mortensen said on Monday Night Countdown.
Mortensen added, however, that the Browns have generally been pleased with the work Manziel has done, including showing up to the team’s facility voluntarily on Sunday when the players weren’t required to be there following the Saturday night preseason opener. And Mortensen said Manziel’s tardiness was not a factor in the Browns’ decision to start [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for this week’s second preseason game.
Manziel may need to have a big game against Washington on Monday night if he’s going to unseat Hoyer. The Browns are expected to choose their Week One starter by the third game of the preseason.

They should have all been fined, misreading a schedule is BS, there are many players that made the team meeting with no problem, all you have to do is ask a freaking vet that has been their and done that, as for any days that's strictly voluntary being a rookie or any young player trying to make an impact should attend every voluntary practice, workout, film study or anything else to do with the team, that could be the difference between getting released or even being put on the practice squad come cutdown day, I don't care where you were drafted, showing up on voluntary days should be a must for any young players fighting for a job, even if its a accomplished player that has been on the team for a few years, even for a guy like Gordon because of the shit that's going on in his life just to show his teammates and coaches that he still gives a rats ass about his career and teammates.
