Johnny Manziel is really desperate to get back in the NFL. According to NFL network’s Mike Garofolo, the disgraced former Browns QB is telling teams that he would play for free and would even play on the practice squad if he got a second chance in the NFL.

After I’m done plugging @ThomaHawkNFD, I talk Johnny Manziel and how teams have been told he’s willing to take $0 guaranteed and even spend time on a practice squad to prove himself in the NFL again.

Manziel confirmed on his Twitter account that he would play for free because he didn’t really care about the money.

I’ve been down and out for too long. Nothing but positivity on this end.
I’ll play again for FREE. It’s not about the money it’s about getting back to doing what I miss and love.

It’s still early in the offseason but it doesn’t seem like any teams are ready to bite on Manziel just considering he’s probably still have to face discipline by the league for his domestic violence case. I’m rooting for Johnny but he’s burned a lot of bridges and it’s going to be interesting to see if any teams will ever be able to trust him again.
