What could go wrong

Could the Johnny Manziel comeback tour now have an ounce of credibility?
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday the wayward quarterback and former Browns first-round pick was spotted with Saints head coach Sean Payton at breakfast during last month's Super Bowl, per sources informed of the meeting. The two discussed a return to the NFL.
Rapoport added that Payton is interested in Manziel possibly joining the Saints sometime in the future. This was not simply the Saints head coach taking an interest in Manziel as he tries to climb back into the league after washing out amid substance abuse and legal issues.
What we do know is that the Saints should and will be in the market for a Drew Brees successor at some point. Brees is set to become a free agent again at the end of this season but has said multiple times that he plans on playing a few more years. This is good news for Payton, who has won games on the shoulders of Brees' supreme talent for nearly a decade now. Deep into his 30s, the former second-round pick still is throwing for more than 5,000 yards per season. Should the team's defensive rebuild take hold, the Saints could be bound for a return to the playoffs.

Break out the jump to conclusions mat.
He may have allegedly had breakfast with him during the Super Bowl week so that has turned into the Saints are going to sign him, somehow.
FWIW, I'm fine with it. He would be getting a camp contract with no guaranteed money, one would imagine, so it isn't a big deal.

No off the field distractions in Nola. Perfect fit.

Sean is just trying to score some painkillers.

I would take anything Rappoport says regarding Sean Payton with a grain of salt. He's been wrong on nearly everything he reports about him.

I want this to happen so bad just to see the reaction on here

Most Saints fans seem to be ok with it, to be honest. We aren't talking about a 5 year, 60 million dollar deal. We are talking about a camp contract, unguaranteed.

I don't know why you would be opposed. I think he showed he could be a serviceable backup when he played for Cleveland, and if he's focused on football there's potential for more than that possibly. It's fairly high reward with zero risk
Also a quick rundown of the luminaries on Saints Talk show things to be pretty split

He would definitely be our best backup QB

Johnny is too slow and skinny for the NFL

It's lit

Brees and manziel are the same size and manziel has more heismans therefore he will be better than drew at some point

Manziel and Bourbon St - not a good combination.

That would be very saints like if they want to devolve down to the browns level.
