Is it just me or did I miss something here...Eli Manning has agreed to a 6-year $97 million dollar contract (w/ $35 million guaranteed)! Eli Manning?! Are you kidding me?! Peyton's little brother?! Seriously?
The contract is coming after two of the greatest seasons of Manning's young career: 3,238 yds, 21 TDs, and only 10 INTs in '08 & his upset Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots in '07.
Regardless, I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that Eli is making that much money... sure, he won a Super Bowl (thanks to the D-line pressuring Brady all game & Asante Samuel dropping an easy pick), but would you spend that kind of money on Peyton's little brother?
Enjoy your pay day Eli... maybe you can share some of that money with your defense, the real stars of the Giants.
This contract is a joke. He's not worth half of that money.
