None for me, but if I think of it from the perspective of Jerry Jones:Maybe I'm being dense, and I know you're the marketing guy, but how does signing an alcoholic domestic abuser create marketing opportunities?
Toss in the redemption angle (Jones being just arrogant enough to think that he'll be the one to finally get Johnny Football to clean up his act) and you have a recipe for keeping the Cowboys in the media 24/7.Well, y'all won't understand this, but he's a great football player and this here's Texas . . .
Let me also be clear that I still believe that he won't play a down in 2016 and may never play again. But I am convinced that if Manziel makes even the slighted attempt to address his problem, Jones will jump on him.
The risk will be low - he won't get more than league minimum and will probably be a practice squad player even if he avoids a long suspension - the guaranteed media return will be high and if Johnny Football can turn himself around, it's a huge win. (Again, in Jerry's eyes, not mine.) But if Manziel does not make at least a token attempt at rehabilitating his image, if not his life, I agree that Jones won't bite.
