If CLE trades for Mariota, does Jerry trade for Manziel?

[NorthwestDallas40]

Since we seem interested in picking a rookie QB as a backup/developmental QB, is there an offer from CLE that Jerry could not refuse? 4th rounder this year and a conditional pick next year?

I have not seen much to like from Manziel yet in the NFL, but maybe he's been humbled a bit by rehab and would be OK backing up and learning (and maybe having some speciality plays) for 3 years behind Romo. Would that be better than Bryce Petty in the 3rd or Sean Manion/Garrett Grayson in the 4th?

I didn't favor drafting Manziel right from the beginning. That being the case, I'm surely not coveting him now.

No, absolutely not.
Did I say no?
No, the answer is no.

I'd give them a 7th if they asked.

 

[kiheikiwi]

Ummmm, NO ! Not just no - Hell No !!!

What is the fascination with Manziel still being a Cowboy?

It's Jerry's fascination... And we are looking at developmental backup QBs

I believe Jerry had a fascination last year. After Manziels rookie year, I bet Jerry is glad that he has Martin on his OL.

And I bet we would look at the draft this year for a development QB as opposed to trading a pick, especially two, for that guy.

the manzeil fantasy has been clearly exposed

Im not so sure. Jerry loves getting the better end of a deal. If he still likes the talent, and thinks he could steal Manziel because CLE wants to move on, I would not be surprised.

Well, finally got Mcfadden.

Let's be clear here... hell no! Johnny Rehab is a no go!

If the price is right

I don't think they trade for him with his baggage. Unless maybe it's a complete fire sale. Definitely see them pick him up when/if he's released. They still had him as a first round prospect.

you can count on the fingers of one hand and not use them all to find out in the last 30 years how many developmental QBs have become franchise QBs. Just because we won the lottery with Romo means diddly squat.

I'd rather we gave up all of our picks and paid Peterson 20 million dollars to play for one year than to give Cleveland a bologna sandwich for Manziel,,, lol

They were wrong about him being a first round prospect but you think they still think that about him? Hell no, lol.

Knowing he could sell out the stadium for a decade not sure how Jerry passed on Rehab Johnny in the first place.

No way
