Hue Jackson's first move as head coach of the Cleveland Browns could be to end the Johnny Manziel era.

Jackson made it clear in the hiring process that he wants to move on from the troubled passer, according to FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms the Browns are expected to cut ties with Manziel now that Jackson is in the fold.

It's possible the Browns will shop Manziel on the trade market in an attempt to recoup some value. The 2014 first-round pick reportedly has his eyes on joining the Dallas Cowboys, and team owner Jerry Jones has long been rumored to be infatuated with Manziel - so a trade is not out of the question.

With Manziel out of the picture, the Browns are widely expected to use the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to select a franchise quarterback of the future.
