He’s partied his way out of a job and out of multiple relationships with people who represented him, but Johnny Manziel still has a spokesperson — and apparently still has plans to return to the NFL.

“I’m hoping to take care of the issues in front of me right now so I can focus on what I have to do if I want to play in 2016,” Manziel said in a statement provided to multiple outlets on Tuesday. “I also continue to be thankful to those who really know me and support me.”

Earlier Tuesday, agent Drew Rosenhaus officially terminated his representation of Manziel because he said Manziel didn’t hold his end of their deal and seek treatment for whatever issues he’s battling. Also Tuesday, it was announced that evidence against Manziel from a January incident in which he’s accused of striking his ex-girlfriend will go to a grand jury on Thursday.

The Browns released Manziel last month. He was dumped by agent Erik Burkhardt and LRMR, LeBron James’ marketing company, earlier last winter.

Though he spent around 10 weeks last offseason in a treatment center, it’s not clear what issues Manziel has besides an addiction to attention. It’s also unclear how much or what he would have to change for an NFL team to be willing to take a chance on him, but if any team is still listening/reading, this statement indicates he’s willing to try.

“So many people only have one image of Jonathan but, believe it or not, he takes all this very seriously,” Denise Michaels, Manziel’s spokesperson, said. “He’s hoping that he can clear up his personal issues, start interviewing agents and see what he needs to do if he wants to play this year.”
