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

Since we seem interested in picking a rookie QB as a backup/developmental QB

Sorry but I have to hear that directly from someone within the FO before I'll believe it.

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?

Short answer: NO @#$%&* #$%^&*# way!!!
Long answer: No.

Please delete this thread and we'll pretend it never happened.

Using multiple of our limited number of in person visits on QBs is not enough?

Kicking the tires and being interested in drafting a QB are 2 completely different things.

It sure doesn't mean we would be interested in trading for JF.

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

If he played just one year in Dallas like he did his time in Cleveland thus far people would forget all about the Heisman winner from A&M. Crappy QB play won't sell a stadium out.

We didnt kick tires on QBs like this in the past 5 years of drafts that I can remember... i think the interest in a backup QB is genuine this year, after last year's Weeden debacle... but you're right, it doesn't mean Jerry would give up a pick for Manziel. But Jerry's interest in Manziel last year was genuine.

We are beyond the speculation of draft season. Johnny Manziel has proven beyond all doubt the he is not , and never will be, an NFL QB.

Why? When it is just a matter of time before he is cut. FWIW Roger Staubach thinks he can play.

That is true but he was riding that bandwagon alone. The organization (I almost typed 'the entire organization') didn't want to go that direction.

We can probably find a Qb in the 7th round that can be more successful than Manziel.

If Manziel has grown up and is clean, I would give them a mid-round pick. He was drunk and high during his rookie season and his play reflected it. There is still talent there to be developed if Manziel is willing to work at his craft. There are tons of haters that disagree, but most of them hated him while he was in college. Many fans just don't like the kid.

They have spent a lot of time with Petty. It wasn't because they had no interest.

 

[windward]

I'd rather stay away from that trainwreck

 

[Tabascocat]

Would rather trade for Schaub!

 

[rpntex]

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.

Jerry already got the better end of the deal - Manziel NOT in a Dallas uniform.

JMO but that is a waste of a pick. You want to use a mid-round pick on a QB just draft one.

If they would accept a straight up trade of Jeff Heath for Manziel.




and that's only because I'm pretty sure Manziel would be a better safety than Heath.
