The New York Giants needed a plan in case something happens to seemingly bionic quarterback Eli Manning. Veteran Josh Johnson is part of it for the next two seasons.
Johnson is set to re-sign with the Giants to serve as the backup to Manning. The deal will be for two years, according to his agent Doug Hendrickson.
The Giants brought Johnson in just prior to the start of last season, after backup Ryan Nassib completed a dreadful preseason. Johnson, 30, eventually became the backup as Nassib struggled with injury, and he will now retain the role for the next two years.
