Mike Pettine not ruling out Manziel as Browns starter

After a tumultuous offseason, Johnny Manziel might still have a shot to earn the starting quarterback spot for the Cleveland Browns.

Speaking with local media, head coach Mike Pettine said “I’m not guaranteeing Josh [McCown] will start against the Jets” on opening day, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer:

This is a great sign that Manziel’s work off the field is paying dividends on it.
