jetsons Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000918069/article/johnny-manziel-nfl-comeback-qb-talking-to-coaches INDIANAPOLIS -- We're one step closer to a Johnny Manziel return to the National Football League. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported Wednesday that the former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns "is in touch with multiple NFL head coaches" in an attempt to revive a career that crashed and burned in 2015 due to a storied rash of off-the-field troubles. "There have been conversations," Garafolo told NFL Network. "... People around him believe it's a very real possibility that he could return to the NFL, whether before or after his appearance in the Spring League." Garafolo added that "teams have been informed that Manziel will take zero dollars guaranteed, minimum salary, if need be." Showing no demands for money, Manziel is willing to prove it on the field, too, with the former Texas A&M star "open to signing a practice-squad contract, staying on a team's practice squad and proving that he is in the right mindset during this entire season," Garafolo noted. In recent days, Manziel has spoken honestly about the drama and substance-abuse issues that cratered his brief, chaotic run with the Browns. If you have a minute, it's worth listening to Manziel's upfront, wide-ranging interview with former teammates Joe Thomas and Andrew Hawkins of THE THOMAHAWK SHOW, where Johnny Football tells all on his various off-field misadventures during his stint with the Browns. In that same conversation, though, Manziel comes across as someone who has learned from his past -- while appearing serious about making football a part of his future. Time will tell. I'll play again for FREE. It's not about the money it's about getting back to doing what I miss and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I would have rather seen him play for the Jets last season instead of McCown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCown was a superior choice to lead the offense in every way save for age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t reflect well on Macc that after 3 seasons a washed up Johnny football would immediately be #1 on the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleckineau Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Comeback ha... Comeback to what? Being a terrible QB? Previously successful people un-retire and make comebacks. Manziel is a never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetscreen Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is really unfortunate. He was a great player for us once upon a time. What does this say about Bowles? He's unable to motivate a guy that being paid a kings ransom and knows he has the ability to do great things? Control the LOS? My feeling is Bowles is in way over his head in NY and the Mo problem is proof positive that he's no Parcells descendant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 He may get an opportunity somewhere but I don't want him anywhere near us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 He was supposed to go to the CFL but he wanted too much money. His best shot to be honest was to go down to the CFL and hopefully light it up and then go back to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gangrene Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Maybe he could car pool to Florham Park with Dylan Donoghue, since they are both on a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
