Take this for what it’s worth, Peter King of TheMMQB.com believes Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would draft Johnny Manziel if he ended up falling to them in next week’s draft.
I absolutely buy Dallas’ interest in Manziel. One: He is Jerry Jones’s kind of guy, and I believe Jones all along has had half an eye on Manziel, particularly if he could get him at a bargain position—say, the middle of the second round. I don’t believe Manziel will make it out of the first round, of course, but Jones could be sorely tempted at No. 16 overall if Manziel were there. Two: Tony Romo turned 34 last Monday, and his back is balky and twice surgically repaired, and Troy Aikman has been sounding the clarion call about the dangers of fooling with a bad back. Three: See number one.
I disagree. While the Cowboys could use Manziel because Romo is getting older, they just gave Romo a ton of money and let’s face it Manziel would be more of a distraction because Dallas fans will be calling for Romo’s benching after his first pick-six that costs them a game.
