Manziel, who started eight games for the Cleveland Browns from 2014-15, is reportedly trying to make an NFL comeback. There were reports Manziel was going to charge $50 for a selfie with him at the Super Bowl, but he claimed that was untrue.

Just had this brought to to my attention. I'm not charging a penny for a damn "selfie" at the super bowl. Dumbest thing I've ever heard
