The Dallas Cowboys are the leading team in the NFC this season alongside the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Atlanta Falcons. From a devastating year, which placed them at the bottom of the rankings, Jerry Jones' once troubled football team finds itself on top this time around. Even more surprisingly, the team managed to achieve this under the solid leadership of rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot. However, it looks like there are more surprises in store for fans of the Dez Bryant squad.

The rise of Dak Prescott not only inspired the Dallas Cowboys fans and players, but also other members of the league. Talks are pointing to the rookie's influence on Johnny Manziel, who has been struggling to get back in the game following his disastrous stint with the Cleveland Browns. As the first-year NFL quarterback impress fans everytime he plays in the gridiron, Johnny Footballs seems to be getting even more encouraged to prove his worth and regain his fame.

Rumors are rife that a Johnny Manziel contract is eyed by Jerry Jones following the successful stint of Dak Prescott. With speculations noting that this season will be the last for Tony Romo in the Dallas Cowboys roster, the Dez Bryant squad is anticipated to look for backups to their young rookie. Among the potential free agents to sign for the post, experts believe that the Dallas Cowboys owner is heavily leaning on finally giving Johnny Manziel a second chance int the NFL.

The love between Johnny Manziel and the Dallas Cowboys has always been an open declaration in the league. In the past, Jerry Jones had been widely criticized for his support to the former Cleveland Browns star. However, the two never found a way to justify a Johnny Manziel contract when Tony Romo was still the top dog in the Dallas Cowboys roster. This time around though, it looks like the football team could afford to gamble on the deal as Dak Prescott has been showing remarkable progress and leadership.

At this point, however, a Johnny Manziel contract or even negotiations for a deal with the former Cleveland Browns quarterback remains uncertain. Right now, the Dallas Cowboys are focused on preparing for the NFL playoffs. With Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot experiencing this for the first time, it is expected that all hands would be on deck to ensure that their winning momentum is not broken.

What do you think? Should the Dallas Cowboys entertain a Johnny Manziel contract this offseason? Will Dak Prescott be a good influence on the former Cleveland Browns star?
