Eli Manning is on the clock.
The Giants' quarterback for the past decade and a half is taking the field for his final drive with the franchise. Not that this will be his last season with the only team he’s ever played for, even though it is the last year on his current contract. But the moment the Giants selected Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick on Thursday night, time began running out on Manning’s tenure.
He basically has until the next time the Giants are irrelevant to keep his job. And considering that scenario has come about early in the fall in three of the past four seasons, there could be a good chance it happens before the 2019 schedule is completed.
