Brittany Dunn, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors, said the agreement was filed Friday without Manziel present. 

The deal reached is aimed at teaching Manziel, 'how to make better choices when facing conflict', court documents obtained by TMZ Sports state.

The papers also outline exactly what the 23-year-old must to do hold his up end of the deal. 

Manziel must complete an anger management course approved by the court, take part in a domestic violence victim impact panel, and participate fully in the NFL's Policy and Program for Substance of Abuse, or if program is unavailable, Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation at court approved location.

He is also not allowed any contact with Crowley, according to TMZ.

If the former first round draft pick is able to meet those conditions, the charge will be dropped. 

A spokeswoman for the Heisman Trophy winner didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
