The Dallas Cowboys are once again in need of a backup quarterback. Kellen Moore broke his ankle and is out for the season, meaning the only guys left behind Tony Romo (who broke his collar bone twice in 2015) are rookie Dak Prescott and former practice squad QB Jameill Showers.

Whenever the Cowboys are in need of a quarterback, one name tends to come up a lot: Johnny Manziel. Everyone knows that Jerry Jones wanted to draft Manziel back in 2014, but was talked out of it by his son Stephen Jones and assistant director of player personnel Will McClay. They drafted Zack Martin instead, and that's turned out to be a very good decision.

Still, Manziel is now available on the free market (because he flamed out of the league due to a combination of a stunning lack of preparedness and several off-field incidents including but not limited to an alleged domestic violence case). So, are the Cowboys interested? Nope. At least not according to Stephen Jones, the Cowboys executive vice president and COO, who addressed the subject on Tiki and Tierney on CBS Sports Radio.

"No, there's no chance. 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."

That settles that. Jerry could always wind up overruling his son on this, of course, but that hasn't been happening nearly as much over the last few years as it had in the past.
