Johnny Manziel Wants To Be A Dallas Cowboy: Report

As embattled quarterback Johnny Manziel’s time with the Cleveland Browns seemingly comes to an end, he wants to join the Dallas Cowboys, according to Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, one of the most connected writers in the NFL.

Manziel also didn’t show up for a 9 a.m. appointment Sunday with the team’s doctor, King reported.

And now, after a season full of drama with similar off-field incidents, the Browns are “so done” with Manziel, according to King. And if Manziel had his way, he would be a Dallas Cowboy.

Manziel was born in Tyler, went to high school in Kerville and starred at Texas A&M, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 2012, so it makes sense that he would want to return to his home state.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wanted to draft Manziel when he came out in 2014, but coach Jason Garrett and the rest of the staff advised him against it, and they picked offensive tackle Zack Martin instead.
