Looks like New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will enter this season with long-term stability, after all.
NFL Network reported Thursday evening that Manning and the Giants are close to finalizing a four-year contract extension worth $84 million, which should be completed over the weekend.
When asked Wednesday if he would want negotiations to be halted during the regular season, Manning responded: “I haven’t thought about it.”
Manning had been set to enter the final season of six-year, $97.5 million deal Sunday night when the Giants open their 2015 campaign against the Dallas Cowboys .
“We’d like to have it done before the season is over, but if it doesn’t happen, then I ‘m still confident it’ll get done at some point,” Giants president and CEO John Mara said before training camp. “We want him to be here and finish his career as a Giant. I’m sure he wants the same thing.”
Playing in his first season under new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo in 2014, Manning completed 63.1% of his passes for 4,410 yards, 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
