The Cleveland Browns have a bell that is rung every time a new season ticket is sold, and given the way things are going since the team selected Johnny Manziel with the 22nd pick in Thursday's first round of the NFL draft, the bell might need to be replaced before long.

Team president Alec Scheiner told ESPN.com on Friday that, in the time since Manziel was selected, the team sold more than 2,000 season tickets.

"We know right now that every one of our games is going to be sold out for next season," Scheiner said.

Despite knowing that picking Manziel would result in a frenzy, Scheiner stressed that the business ramifications of the pick weren't considered.

"The beauty of picking Johnny was that this was a football decision only," Scheiner said. "It had nothing to do with business in any way. The fact that he's an incredibly popular athlete wasn't factored in at all."

Even though fans lined up at the stadium store to buy No. 2 Manziel jerseys on Friday, first-year coach Mike Pettine told reporters that "Johnny Football" will have to earn a job with the team.

"I don't think you can hand jobs to people when they come in," Pettine said. "It's a situation where despite what's around him and what's following him -- and there will be pressure to play him -- we're in the business of evaluating the best quarterback for the Cleveland Browns to win football games, and that's who is going to play, whether that's Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel."

Better cash in now.

Guess it was a good choice for the Browns, huh.
