Giants are showing resistance to that kind of commitment, and who can blame them really? This is last year of Eli's contract, so stay tuned.
Sources tell ESPN New York the Giants are comfortable letting Eli Manning play out the final year of his contract.
The two sides recently had conversations about an extension, but are no closer to an agreement. It's not a surprise, as the Giants are in a healthy salary cap situation and word is Manning wants more than the five-year, $99M deal Ben Roethlisberger got last week. Per ESPN New York, the team doesn't appear ready to make that kind of commitment at this point. If Eli uses Ben McAdoo's effective scheming and a plethora of weaponry successfully in 2015, a deal will get done ahead of the 2016 season.
