There are many questions surrounding Johnny Manziel‘s future in Cleveland, but Browns general manger Ray Farmer has denied rumors that they have been shopping the former Heisman winner and last year’s first round pick.

With Manziel still on the roster, I would not expect the team’s GM to openly admit to such a thing, so I would not read too far into his denial. Regardless, the team does appear sincere in their support of their high-profile backup quarterback following his recent stint in rehab, as they should, given him taking all the right steps after a rough first year in Cleveland.

"“We support the young man, that he took steps that he needed to take, and at the end of the day, we realize that he’s a part of our organization and we’re moving forward,” Farmer told NFL.com. “He said it best, you know, he’s going to do his best to show and not talk about it. I’m probably in that camp as well. Let’s just see what happens.”"

The key part of Farmer’s statement is, “Let’s just see what happens.”

That is essentially saying that in no way are they positive that Manziel is their quarterback of the future. Given his on and off the field struggles, trading him remains a viable option for the Browns, and they should absolutely take a look at what value he has on the trading block.
