Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has not been shy about his affinity for current Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, who are rumored to be thinking about trading the former Heisman trophy winner.
However, even if Manziel gets put on the trading block, the Cowboys will not make a move to get him, according to ProFootballTalk:
If the Browns intend to move Manziel, a published report claims a seemingly logical trade partner would not pursue the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.
According to ESPN’s Ed Werder, the Cowboys are not inclined to deal for Manziel if he’s available.
The Cowboys’ current backup, Brandon Weeden, was a first-round pick of Cleveland in 2012. He is in the final year of his deal and is set to make $660,000 in base salary in 2015, per NFLPA records.
Manziel is under contract for three more seasons at relatively affordable base salaries, with $1.29 million in 2017 the upper bound. The Browns have an option to extend his deal through 2018.
