Eli Manning is getting his $5 million roster bonus. That means he will be the New York Giants quarterback in 2019.
There is, of course, a segment of both the fan base and the media flabbergasted by the idea that after six losing seasons in seven years the Giants will continue down the road into 2019 with the 38-year-old Manning returning for a franchise-record 16th NFL season.
That angst is, honestly, normal. It’s to be expected. There is unrest in the fan base because the Giants have been bad for most of the past seven years.
