Eli Manning is rarely vehement or outwardly annoyed but he was both on Wednesday as he forcefully disputed a report that he wants to be the highest paid NFL quarterback – and thus the highest-paid player in the league.
“Reports are all wrong,’’ Manning said brusquely. “I don’t know where they get their information from. I just kind of laughed at it.’’
Manning, though, was not laughing about how he was portrayed on Tuesday, when the NFL Network reported that the Giants quarterback is seeking a new contract to make him the NFL’s highest paid player.
