Johnny Manziel is seeking a return to the NFL, and he may have an interested party.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has taken an interest of sorts in the quarterback, and the two have discussed a return to the NFL.

FA QB Johnny Manziel has kept a low-profile as he trains for a return. #Saints coach Sean Payton appears to have taken an interest in him.

The #Saints still need a backup QB. Payton could make the most of Manziel’s talent. Drew Brees would be a perfect mentor. A lot makes sense.

Manziel has supposedly been receiving interest, but this is the first real firm link to come of it. The landing spot does make some sense, and we’ll see if anything comes of it.
