Hate it. Love it. It doesn’t matter. Eli Manning will most likely be the New York Giants starting in 2019. The $5 million roster bonus that he receives as of March 17 pretty much guarantees his starting gig.
In total, the 38-year-old Manning will receive $23.2 million this season as he enters the final year of his contract. The decision to bring Manning back at that cap number when the team is rebuilding has drawn mixed emotions amongst Giants fans.
Some fans rejoiced that Manning will be the starter this upcoming season. After all, he’s the best quarterback in the history of the franchise and has led the Giants to two memorable Super Bowl runs.
