Now, we"™ve been very obvious that we do feel like we"™ve got to do a better job there after what happened to us this year." We"™ve got to evaluate this thing with an open mind. "œWe"™ve got to look at every option, all options.

"œTo me, at the end of day, if you start getting too laser-focused on something, that"™s when you make mistakes. "œIt"™s all options," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said. The Cowboys don"™t plan on being in this position again anytime soon, so this could stand as their best opportunity to get Romo"™s heir apparent with a high pick. They found Romo as an undrafted free agent, signing him for a $10,000 bonus. In the Jones era, which began in 1989, the Cowboys have drafted only five quarterbacks. This time, Manziel would come out of the discount bin with limited risk.īut the Cowboys own the fourth overall pick, with California"™s Jared Goff and Memphis"™ Paxton Lynch both rated as top-10 picks.

Martin has become a two-time Pro Bowler, while Manziel has made more headlines off the field than on it. He wanted to draft Manziel in 2014 but was convinced to use the 16th choice on offensive guard Zack Martin. Jones has never hidden his infatuation with Manziel. "œAll the options are just those options, whether it be drafting a high pick, whether drafting a lower pick for more of a developmental situation or whether we look at a prominent quarterback as a backup or as a potential in-the-game guy," Jones said. Three quarterbacks combined for a 1-11 record in Tony Romo"™s absence this season.
#2016 COWBOYS BACKUP QB UPGRADE#
The Cowboys have made no secret of their desire to upgrade their backup quarterback position for the 2016 season. National reports Wednesday indicated that new Browns coach Hue Jackson made it clear during his interview that he wants to move on from the former Texas A&M star. The Cowboys need a backup quarterback, and it appears more likely by the day that Johnny Manziel won"™t return to the Cleveland Browns. It"™s the million-dollar question that every NFL fan "” not just Cowboys fans "” wonders about as the offseason grows closer. HOUSTON "” A silver-and-black-clad Oakland Raiders fan yelled to Jerry Jones, "œHey, Jerry, you gettin"™ Johnny?" The Dallas Cowboys owner raised his head, smiled and winked as he walked through the lobby of the Westin Memorial City.
