The only way that I would be ok with Manziel being brought in is if he signs a contract that completely voids after his first ****up. I'm talking ZERO guaranteed money.

He'll go to Dallas. KC won't touch him with a ten foot pole.

RGIII in there and it sounds rather similar to the talk concerning him a few months ago.... Could the Chiefs be a dark horse landing spot for Johnny Manziel? Johnny Manziel in red and gold? Head coach Andy Reid is no stranger to risky quarterbacking moves. By Nick Toney Feb 1, 2016 at 11:08p ET http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/k...k-trade-020116 For the better part of 60 minutes, Johnny Manziel kept Arrowhead Stadium uneasy in Week 16. The much-maligned Browns quarterback nearly spoiled a Chiefs playoff push. But going forward, he might be the man to lead future ones. Manziel might be the perfect quarterbacking candidate for Andy Reid to reclaim in 2016. He's troubled, he's got an arm, and he'll come cheap; all those factors once characterized Michael Vick, despite Reid's relationship with Donovan McNabb. Manziel would benefit from a concrete QB depth chart in Kansas City. He'd sit and learn (both on the field and off) while Alex Smith led the offense. Then, if he proved a worthy study, he'd claim Smith's job one day. If not, Manziel would still come cheaper than current backup Chase Daniel. It's a no-lose situation for the Chiefs, who should be in the market for a new backup this spring. |

How many more years is Bray going to be stealing a pay check from this team? Picking up the likes of Manziel means what regarding Bray and Murray?

according to saccofcrap, Bray and Murray aren't good enough so it makes no difference if they ever play a snap. Apparently we carry 4 QBs because Andy Reid thinks it makes him look like he's actually trying.

Why the Browns are waiting to cut Johnny ManzielNov 5, 2015
By: Steven Ruiz | February 2, 2016 1:50 pm Johnny Manziel’s time in Cleveland seems to be running out. The team basically said as much in a press release sent out Tuesday morning: Quote:
Manziel’s contract will make the process a little more complicated. He signed a four-year, $8.2 million deal after Cleveland took him with the 21st overall pick in 2013, according to Spotrac. Almost all of that contract was guaranteed ($7.9 million of it, to be exact) and halfway through the deal, the Browns still owe Manziel more than $4 million in guarantees in addition to his $4.8 million base salary over the next two years combined. By parting ways with the 23-year-old, the team would save the $4.8 million base salary without a penalty but would have to pay Manziel his guarantees in one lump sum, which would count against the team’s cap in 2016 as dead money. The most financially-efficient solution would be to wait until June 1 to release Manziel, which would allow the Browns to spread that dead money over two years. In that scenario, Cleveland would have to pay Manziel the $2 million in guarantees he’s set to earn next season but save the $2 million he’ll make in base salary. So, essentially, the Browns would break even. That sets up an awkward four-month waiting period with Manziel on the roster but obviously not a part of the team’s plans for the future. The league does allow teams to designate two “June 1” cuts well before that day on the calendar, but that would limit the amount of money Cleveland could save by using that designation on more expensive veterans, such as Paul Kruger and Donte Whitner. Either way, the Browns and Manziel will have to wait until March 9, when the new league year officially begins, to part ways. Quote:

Having the second overall pick in the 2016 draft will certainly make it easier for the Browns to find their new quarterback and move on from the Johnny Football era.

I don't think there's anything in this world that makes finding a new QB easier for the Browns.

And I agree. What kind of stuns me is the amount of Browns fans who do t want them to take a qb. It's mind bottling.

The Browns have tried every single possible way to find a QB. Free agency, draft, and trades. All of them. And all of them have ended in fiery diarrhea. |
