2015 NFL Draft: Johnny Manziel's Contract Controversy With The Cleveland Browns And Philadelphia Eagles Hits Twitter

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole recently mentioned on Twitter that the Philadelphia Eagles are not interested in trading quarterback Sam Bradford for Johnny Manziel.

"I think the Eagles consider any and all ideas," he wrote to one Twitter user. 

Johnny Manziel is rumored to continue his contract with the Cleveland Browns into the 2015 season, given that he was excluded from trade offers for Sam Bradford. 

The quarterback was originally drafted for the National FootballLeague (NFL) team in 2014. 

Johnny Manziel should have demanded a trade from the Cleveland Browns, writes columnist Mike Freeman, given that the NFL is "giving him no chance to win if and when he returns to football."

"If I were Manziel, I might indeed request a trade," he writes. 

"I've criticized Manziel as Eddie Haskell-a tremendous phony who always said the right things but rarely meant it. Again, I've been told that he now is different. If his sincerity is real now, he will still have to prove that to people. They will wonder if he still suffers from a sincerity deficit. In fact, at this point, I would trust Manziel over the Cleveland front office, and yes, again, I'm the idiot who once wrote you can trust Browns management. No, no you can't."

Cleveland Browns Coach Mike Pettine has confirmed that Johnny Manziel's January rehab entrance was for alcohol and substance abuse rehabilitation. 

"It's more important -- the personal stuff now -- football is an afterthought so we're just giving him his privacy and [letting him] do what he has to do," Pettine told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. 

"It's something that he was very resolute that needed to get done and again, I'll respect his privacy and leave it at that."
