Cleveland Browns fans are excited for the new King of Cleveland, Johnny Manziel, to begin work with the team this offseason.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, however, passed on Johnny Football because he saw more Heartbreak Hotel in Manziel than he was prepared to deal with.

Per Joey Marona of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jones told reporters that the reason why he left Manziel on the board was that "he's a celebrity, he's Elvis Presley," insinuating that Manziel's ego may be too big even for Big D.

According to Marona, "Jones explained on Friday there wasn't even a thought of drafting Manziel, in part, because of the circus he would bring to town as a backup quarterback."

Feel free to now attack Twitter with as many Manziel/Elvis memes as you see fit.
