Johnny Manziel declares he's sober and wants to recapture the NFL career he threw away.
Are the Cowboys talking about signing him? No. But the club is talking about making Zack Martin the highest-paid guard in the league.
Martin is the player the Cowboys selected instead of Manziel nearly four years ago. Martin had the enthusiastic support of virtually everyone in the organization except Jerry Jones, who reluctantly went along with the lineman's selection at No. 16.
This was never an indictment of Martin's talent and what he could accomplish. It was all about the owner's genetic disposition to make the splashiest move possible.
