    Today's joke of the day: Eli wants to be the highest paid in the NFL

    Now that Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers have landed long-term contract extensions, the attention turns to another highly decorated member of the 2004 quarterback draft class.

    Although the New York Giants hope to sign Eli Manning to a new deal by the start of the season, a "significant gap" remains in negotiations, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday's edition of NFL Total Access.


    That gap is unlikely to close anytime soon, as Manning is pushing to become the game's highest-paid player, per Rapoport.

    Manning isn't a top-five NFL quarterback, much less on par with 2014 Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers, who currently ranks as the league's highest-paid quarterback.

    That said, agent Tom Condon believes Manning is "uniquely suited" to be the Giants' quarterback because he's proven unflappable in the media spotlight.

    Condon and Manning also realize they are headed for a $25 million payday in 2016 if the Giants are forced to utilize the exclusive franchise tag.

    Even if the G-Men dig in their heels and refuse to bypass Rodgers' annual figure of $22 million, they might be able to find common ground by front-loading the contract with guarantees in excess ofRivers' $65 million -- which is several million more than Rodgers pocketed in 2013.

    I heard a guy on radio a couple months back saying Eli will prob get 20 mil a year. I thought it was funny but he was serious.

    Eli hasn't been any good in what, 2-3 years?

    He still has that Manning blood though. He'll probably age well, just needs an offensive line.

    He's had two outstanding seasons in his career, one very good season, and seven seasons that ranged from horse shit to mediocre.

    I'm a Giant fan my whole life, he needed a helmet catch Hail Mary prayer to beat New England, and a Plaxico fade in the corner of the endzone catch.

    He had good numbers last year, highest completion % of his career, after rookie year has started every game that's crazy with how much he gets sacked.

    That's just the way QB salaries go these days. If you've been a starter for awhile you're going to get a huge deal. Teams are frightened to lose a QB.

    that should bother Mara and the Giants. But it won't and he'll get the dough.

    These NFL players are so full-of-shtt. All they worry about is how much more they should be making instead of how much better they could be playing.

    Eli the highest paid- based on what? This guy is definitely not in reality.

    Eli is a douche. He is one of the players i wouldnt mind seeing get hurt this year just like Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson.

    Sheli certainly should not be highest paid QB. Has a couple lucky rings that bounced his way I say lucky cause NYG was nothing special either year nor was he they just got hot at right time and both times they won were fortunate to have 1 play go there way each time. He's NEVER been best in gm let alone his own conference or arguably his div even (Romo). Wildly inconsistent , turns ball over way too much, main thing.

    With that said though funniest joke of wk was RGme saying he is best QB in Nfl and I think he genuinely believes it

    I heard he once threw a game back in 2009 because the giants refused to enter contract talks with him prior to his entry level deal's expiration.






    It was intercepted.

    Eli has had no talent in the backfield and zero protection for a while.

    Eli and Peyton were having dinner with their Wives at Masa in Manhattan.

    One of the most expensive restaurants in all of New York.

    Eli grabbed the check, looked at at it and upon thinking about how much more money his brother made than him, passed the check to Peyton.

    It was intercepted.

    Go back to the pineapple jokes. I'm not even sure who intercepted the check or why, I'm just confused.

    Once upon a time, Eli was critisized, he went on a radio show and told the world he considered himself to be one of the best QBs in the league. Rest is history, 2 time superbowl MVP, that ainīt no fluke.

    Eli is a scrub but he does put up numbers and has shown to play like a champion in the playoffs. Look I don't want him on my team but the kid can ball.
