doesnt he have major back issues ?(as well as the multiple collarbone breaks that hes having surgery for...)

When you don't fully heal from one collar bone break, you're very vulnerable to break it again. It's not some odd "he just can't stay healthy" thing. He rushed back to make a playoff push before he was even healed. I don't consider that injury prone.

 

As to the back thing, prior to this season, Romo has missed 2 games since 2011. Hardly an oft-injured guy.

he's old(er) & his time on the field is winding down. They need options.

missed games isnt the only metric for injury.... if hes constantly playing hurt, and its on top of that an injury that gets worse not better, id venture its worth taking into account in evaluating your starting qb situation.

No doubt to both of those. Romo is 35 already (which is crazy.)

 

I just usually reserve the "injury prone" label for the Goodwin, Harvin, Jake Locker-types.

Options you say? You mean to tell me that the little bitty dude (Kellen Moore) or Cassel are not viable options?

Limited interest in Manziel 'in his current state'
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport discusses potential landing spots for Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel after the team plans to cut him in March but cites Manziel's off the field behavior as a hindrance to other teams signing him.

Manziel came in saying he was going to wreck the league. What he really meant was wreck the Browns. Stupid draft choice by Haslam.

@SalSports

Can anyone tell me the last 1st round QB to be outright released (not traded) before making 16 starts for the team that drafted him?

I've gone back and looked. Several guys were traded, but to be outright released before 16 starts is a rare occurrence.

Someone will get hurt, and that's when a desperate team will take a chance on him. I seriously doubt anyone would pick this clown up now.

that might make more sense than anyone signing him now. There were teams trying to coax guys like Rex Grossman and Jason Campbell out of retirement to be emergency QBs last year when they experienced injured QBs. Teams get desperate.

Desperate? Yes, but the reason Campbell and Grossman and Orton get calls is because teams know they will show up and put in the effort.

 

Nobody is sure Manziel will do that.

bill obrien wouldn't put up with Mallett for oversleeping. Not sure he's going to bother with Manziel. Plus, Hoyer is there... That would be a disaster

Much better place for him if he has any desire to become an NFL football player & something tells me he does.

He's gone and not getting another NFL job, thank goodness. He certainly hasn't earned it.

 

He'll get another chance. Even Ryan Leaf got chances with 3 teams.

at least hard knocks will leave the bills alone

 

jerrah, johnny, dez, hardy......even ex players like joseph randle.......get your popcorn

 

Thought Cowboys were gonna part ways with Hardy? Huh, just googled and can't find it. Maybe I hallucinated.

 

I'd love to see Manziel go to the 'Boys. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

@RapSheet

.@NFL security met Manziel & family and his ex-gf Colleen & her family during the traffic incident investigation. Will circle back with them

 

.@NFL security is no stranger to Johnny Manziel. After Fort Worth incident & potential personal conduct violation, they investigate again

 

Is the latest incident with the same ex-gf?

yes. They recently broke up, she posted a pic on Instagram of herself with another guy right around the time of the incident. Some assume that was the instigator, but no real details have emerged.

 

Interestingly, around the time of the first incident, the team had concerns over her being around him as a poor influence on his current state of mind.
