Johnny Manziel desperately wants to get back to the NFL: The quarterback, who once had fallen out of favour in Cleveland and who has attracted attention over the past few years with scandals off the pitch, is now already talking to coaches – and wants to play for little money.
Information from NFL network insider Mike Garafolo is said to have contacted Manziel “several NFL head coaches” to find a way back into the NFL.

Teams will soon be able to convince themselves of Manziel’s athletic abilities in the Spring League as well. Manziel announced via Twitter that he will participate in the Spring League this year.
The Spring League consists of four teams and will be played from 28. March until 15. April in Austin, Texas for training sessions and games. Scouts can get a direct picture of the project on site.

The 25-year-old will be playing for the South Team in two games:
