Could Johnny Manziel demand to be traded if he is selected by Jacksonville?
We have seen this before back when Eli Manning was drafted by the San Diego Chargers, but could this actually happen again? Well according to Don Banks of SI.com, Johnny Manziel is not a fan of playing for the small market Jacksonville Jaguars.
I’ve also heard that Manziel himself isn’t wild about the idea of landing in Jacksonville, one of the NFL’s smaller markets, and that the Jaguars would not be his first choice of employers. It’s not a preference based on people, only location. But Manziel doesn’t get to choose his new workplace address, and quarterback-needy Jacksonville remains very much a possibility as his ultimate destination. There was a Houston Chronicle report on Wednesday morning that had momentum building for the Manziel-Jaguars marriage to unfold Thursday night.
If Manziel is in fact selected by the Jags, could he hold out? I think Manziel will accept the role and do his best, but he might not be too thrilled.
