Before we get into the future of Johnny Manziel let us put things into perspective. Manziel is currently a more committed partier than he is NFL quarterback and the likelihood of him turning it around is slim but if he was to find his way out of his self-imposed downward spiral there’s one team that can make it happen.
Espn reporting Gary Kubiak & the Denver Broncos are talking with Johnny Manziel… Interesting #Aggie connection there plus with Von Miller.

The Denver Broncos have a Super Bowl trophy and the veteran leadership in place to take a chance on Manziel.
They’ve shown the willingness to walk players through their troubled times, look at Manziel’s pal Von Miller. Miller has been suspended several times but the team has afforded him leeway due to his on field production.
Johnny is far less of a player than Von but it goes to show that the organization has plans in place to handle these types of troubled players. They also have a Super Bowl winning head coach that commands respect and a Hall of Fame quarterback, John Elway, running the team.
Manziel will have a stable and proven front office to lean on while he learns how to be a professional. Something no one can ever say he had in Cleveland.
Could Manziel be a Tim Tebow-like experiment for Denver? Sure, but this time they’re doing so with a Super Bowl championship and that makes taking these risk a lot easier.
