Manziel grew up in Texas, played in college at Texas A&M and was a rumored target of the Cowboys in the 2014 NFL draft. After Cleveland picked him with the 22nd pick in the first round, Manziel struggled in his rookie season, completing 18 of 35 passes for 175 yards in five games.

The Browns offered St. Louis a first-round pick for Bradford before the Rams traded him to the Eagles, according to NFL Network. Cleveland offered the Titans two 2015 first-round picks to move up to No. 2 overall and select Mariota, ESPN's Pat McManamon reported.
