Troy Aikman says he believes the Cowboys will sign either RGIII or Johnny Football in the offseason. But that may not happen unless they come real cheap.
The Cowboys have serious in North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz, according to Yahoo Sports. That means the plan would be for Wentz to study under starter Tony Romo until Romo retires.

"If there was any doubt about whether the Dallas Cowboys were giving North Dakota State University quarterback Carson Wentz a serious look as a high draft pick, it was dispelled Tuesday," Yahoo Sports reported.
"While Dallas didn't go out of its way to wave the Senior Bowl pom-poms for Wentz, Cowboys director of player personnel Stephen Jones had a fairly developed line of thought when it came to plucking a quarterback high in this year's draft. To put it succinctly: This isn't some mock draft fantasy. If Wentz is the right guy and right move for the future transition of the franchise, Dallas is prepared to make that decision. And if it means Tony Romo will have to spend a few years mentoring a young guy like Wentz, well, Jones thinks Romo will be a good company man. Even if that means sacrificing a high pick (and a potential instant impact player) in favor of someone who might not take over for a few years."

In such a scenario, the only way the Cowboys would consider signing Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III or Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel would be to rely on either of them to be the backup while Wentz gets up to speed and is ready to take over for Romo.
Those comments are in contrast to what Aikman said about the team's offseason wish list.
"I believe, as I sit here today, either Johnny Manziel or Robert Griffin III will be in Dallas as a backup," Aikman said in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
Manziel or Griffin would have to come at bargain basement prices, which isn't totally out of the question.
But unless Manziel or Griffin somehow convince Dallas otherwise, the Cowboys appear to be shying away from a rehabilitation assignment in favor of building from scratch.
