Stephen Jones: Johnny Manziel needs to 'get his hands around' his off-field life for another shot in NFL

Stephen Jones, the chief operating officer of the Dallas Cowboys, weighed in on what former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel needs to do to get another shot in the NFL during a Tuesday interview on 105.3 The Fan. SportsDay's David Moore reported last month that the Cowboys wouldn't pursue the troubled Texas A&M star after he was dropped by Cleveland because Manizel first needs to get his off-field life back together.

"I think it's all been said about Johnny," Jones said Tuesday. " He needs to obviously get his hands around what he's doing off the field and how he can be more functional in being in a spot where a team could count on him or depend on him.
