EVP Stephen Jones can be very direct when he needs to get a clear message across regarding the Dallas Cowboys.

Likely exhausted with rumors of the franchise being interested in unemployed quarterback Johnny Manziel, Jones spoke with CBS Radio and finally put a nail in the coffin of such talk...and then pounded it flat with a sledgehammer.

“No, there’s no chance,” Jones said on Tiki and Tierney. “Obviously Johnny needs to get his hands around his life. He needs to do the things that make him a good person off the field, I think, before he can ever have any chance of being successful in our league. He’s a guy obviously from Texas that we’ve all followed and had an amazing career there at A&M. Unfortunately, he has some things that are holding him back not only as a football player, but as a person in life. We certainly hope he gets his hands around that because he’s obviously a guy that’s had some very unique successes in his life. When he is able to have his hands around some of his issues that he has off the field, then it usually translates into a success for him on the field. But I hope he is able to get his hands around his life, and at some point if he does, I’m sure he’ll get another chance. But at the moment, it certainly won’t be in Dallas.”

There is no room for interpretation here as Jones unequivocally buries any notion of Manziel wearing the Star. Although the troubled QB has voiced his want of return to the league, it's best he takes the constructive advice of everyone and instead focus on getting his life in order.
