Manziel would prefer NOT to play for Jacksonville

[CF74]

Yes

Eli refused to play for SD even had Daddy Manning talking about not wanting to go to SD

He was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers and immediately traded to the New York Giants, who in return gave up a package highlighted by fourth overall selection Philip Rivers.

I know, Elway refused to play for the Colts...

Did you guys, you know, read the article?

I've also heard that Manziel himself isn't wild about the idea of landing in Jacksonville, one of the NFL's smaller markets, and that the Jaguars would not be his first choice of employers. It's not a preference based on people, only location.

Never once did he actually say that he doesn't want to play for Jacksonville.

Yes

Yep, can't think of another instant where a player refused to play for a team who drafted him outside of Elway and Eli

If you were Manziel and knew how bad the Jags were wouldn't you say the same?

Hell yes I would. He probably doesn't want to play there. What I meant was, would he say it to don banks from sports illustrated or anyone close to him? This guy got hold of rumor put it out there, now everyone is running with it. It's dumb.

Anything that's been reported the last 2 weeks in my opinion is pure propaganda.

Until I hear him say this I don't believe it. I want to root for him hopefully he won't pull a Dbag Eli move.

I would take a million less a year not to have to play for Jacksonville.

 

[DFWJC]

I doubt he said this

And no one is saying he said that.

Jacksonville is only 30 miles from where he was born in Tyler.
