Giant Football Blog —
... and sometime in the next year - probably the next few months - the Giants will take the first steps toward making him the next member of the $100 million quarterback club. Manning might even end up being the highest-paid member, as several NFL sources said his next deal could be worth a league-high $15 million per season. That would be an average of $1 million more than his brother Peyton is making on the seven-year, $98 million deal he signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2004. Continue

Eli Set To Cash In From Ralph Vacchiano of The New York Daily News : The Super Bowl championship the Giants won last year was priceless. The man who led them to it is not.

ELI MANNING: WORTH THE BIG MONEY?
Zoner Sports —
The NY Daily News reports that Eli Manning will get a monstrous contract offer from the Giants sometime next season, the last on his current deal. They write that Manning will be the next member of the $100 million QB club, and his salary might eclipse that of his brother Peyton.
This begs a few questions. Has he reached his ceiling? Is he worth it? He was terrible in the playoff game against Philly and did not have a QB rating of over 80 until this year. Nothing about his numbers stands out, and nothing about his skills stands out to me either. ...

Eli Manning ‘Giant’ Payday

... doesn’t $100 million seem like an awful lot for a guy who has never thrown for 25 touchdowns in a season, been in the top dozen in QB rating and completed a career high 60.3% of his passes this year? Eli has also never proved he can be even a mediocre QB without a legit guy to throw to. Manning had his one of the bad seasons last year which culminated in a 23-11 loss to the Eagles in the crucial playoffs. But, he was the 2008 MVP and the aura of that success still seems to be around. This deal will give him $1m per season more than his equally-famous brother, Peyton, who ...

Garofalo says that Manning’s agent, Tom Condon, is headed to the Pro Bowl for the week which diminishes the likelihood of anything coming together quickly. Earlier this month, Vacchiano reported that Manning could be in line for an eight-year deal worth $110-120 million. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, traded for Manning on draft day in 2004, is also in line to get an extension this offseason. Ben Roethlisberger, the third quarterback taken in ...

Giants Gab —
... Best guess, after the cuts and the Jacobs franchise tender, and after they tender their RFAs, they’ll probably be around $10-12 million. It’s enough to sign what they need. And if they choose to be big players in the market or trade for a high-priced receiver (or something) they have the ability to create more room. Remember, if they were to work out a long-term deal with Jacobs, his cap number for 2009 would almost certainly decrease. Same thing if they get around to working out a new deal for Eli Manning. ...
