Eli Manning had a role in the New York Giants' scheme to sell fake game-used memorabilia, Kaja Whitehouse and Bruce Golding of the New York Post reported.
Per court documents, Manning sent an email to equipment manager Joe Skiba that read, "2 helmets that can pass as game used. That is it. Eli."
This came shortly after a request from marketing agent Alan Zucker for two game-used helmets and jerseys.
Manning, Skiba and the Giants were among those named in a lawsuit from three memorabilia collectors.
