The Arena Football League is making overtures to troubled quarterback Johnny Manziel — and it could be the perfect career move since the league has no formal drug policy.

“[Manziel] is a very talented player and under the right circumstances — including if he was healthy — we’d love to have him in our league,” league commissioner Scott Butera told The Post. “We are well-suited for quarterbacks,” he said, referring to the league’s shorter playing field.

He acknowledged the league’s lack of a formal substance abuse policy, but said anyone who tests positive is subject to sanctions.

“We don’t condone any kind of (drug use),” he insisted.

Manziel would probably make about $1,000 per game, an AFL source said.

The flirtation comes several days after Manziel made a pledge to stay sober in July to get in playing shape.

Manziel, who was cut by the Cleveland Browns in March, this week dropped anchor in Mexico where he and 20 buds have been holed up at a luxurious estate ahead of the July 4 holiday.

He was photographed in a pool filled with bikini-clad women, presumably at his Cabo San Lucas vacation compound.

There isn’t much time for Manziel — whose father and two agents have pleaded with tto seek help for substance abuse — to get in game shape for the AFL, whose regular season ends Aug. 1.

Arena League Executive Vice President Tom Goodhines told The Post Manziel won’t get back to the NFL “staying on the couch.”

He said Manziel need only look the example set by former Rams-QB Kurt Warner, who became a Super Bowl champion after starring in the AFL.

Warner agreed.

“You need to play and being a backup in the NFL doesn’t give you that experience,” Warner told The Post.

“I always believe people need second chances. But you have to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you,” Warner said, adding Manziel, “needs to get right as a person. That’s the first thing.”

The NFL suspended the 23-year-old Thursday for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

TMZ reported the suspension is not for using performance-enhancing drugs, meaning it’s likely for recreational drugs or alcohol.

“If he’s sober, Johnny Manziel would be awesome in the arena league,” tweeted James Light, an assistant high school football coach in Michigan.

Manziel has yet to publicly respond to playing in the AFL.
