.....what's next for the media, is hardy a possibility of being resigned since you need a defensive end.....Jerry shouldn't be allowed to talk to the media anymore....

The only thing Johnny Football will be signing is Dallas is one of his $80 autographs.

Character matters. I don't want anyone in the first two days of the draft with questions.

Jerry loves a good redemption story. Don't put it past him to be the guy that makes Johnny's redemption possible.

I wouldn't rule it out entirely either. But I would say that the odds would be extremely long.

But I think the Cowboys do want to acquire another young quarterback and, at 24, Manziel still fits that description. And the cost to take a shot would be nothing more than PR nonsense, which Jerry Jones and the Cowboys already have in spades anyway.

But, having said that, I do think that Garrett and Stephen would again talk Jerry out of it, even if he was considering it.

It's always possible for a young man to turn his life around. If he were to show real signs of maturity, I could see giving him a look but he would start out as more of a camp body than a probable QB on the depth chart.

Bad character.

Can't play in the NFL.

Media *****.

That is way more than enough reasons to just forget about him.

I don't see it under any circumstance but that certainly wasn't an emphatic no.

Jerry can never say "no" on anything he always dances around leaving a sliver of an opening but Manziel won't be playing with the Cowboys and may never see an NFL field again. He didn't play well enough with the chances he got, has a lot of off the field issues making him a huge distraction. No team is going to want to go through the Manziel circus, plus he hasn't seen the field since the 2015 season. A young QB can't afford to miss that much time and expect to develop into a solid NFL QB.

Agreed. It is a second chance kind of country. Manziel could earn another look...somewhere. l have nothing against him and really hope he turns it around for his own sake. Its possible.
