Eli Manning's 6-Year, $97.5 Million Extension One of NFL's Biggest Deals

Eli Manning has been rewarded for his Super Bowl victory in 2008 with what sources say is a six-year, $97.5 million contract extension (with an average annual salary of more than $15 million) that will make him one of the highest paid players in NFL history.

I wonder if Eli will be taunting Peyton over who makes more money.

You're forgetting that Peyton is probably one of the highest paid players in the league on endorsements alone. In 2006 alone Peyton racked in $11.5 million in endorsements.

They don't say how much is guaranteed though.

He is going to get 15 mil on top of the 10 mil that he was already scheduled to make this year!??? Sick!

Eli is not worth that type of money, but whatever. Soon NFL players are going to be renegotiating their contracts because they are not getting paid enough. I hope that JC doesn't expect that type of money if he has an outstanding year.

If he won the SB would you complain?

No, but at the same time that is a lot of money for a Lombardi trophy.

It is but I'm sure we would all love to have that problem.

Jay Glazer is reporting $35 million guaranteed.

Wow...all of that money for one good month in his career. Outside that run leading up to the SB a couple of years ago, he's been an average QB. 55.9 career completion %, 200 yds/gm average, 98TDs/74 INTs and a 76.1 passer rating.

Try below average.

No way in the world is Eli worth that kind of coin. But good for him. He played his best ball when it mattered most.

Re: Eli Manning's 6-Year, $97.5 Million Extension One of NFL's Biggest Deals

He's definitely not worth anywhere close to that kind of money. His career numbers are paltry. He got hot during one half of one season. That's it. No more Toomer or Plax, and we'll see how he does.

Out of all receivers on the Giants roster, the career TD leader has 4. That's right, 4 career TD receptions. If they think Hakeem Nicks is going to turn Eli into the QB from the second half of 2007, they're in for a rude awakening. Plax was his safety blanket, and he's obviously nowhere close to the same QB without him as he was with him.

I'm sorry but I think Eli Manning is one of the most overrated players in football.

Not that I'm an Eli's fan, but they wrote him off when Tiki retired. Then they said he wouldn't make it without Shockey, his receivers are too young, Toomer was too old, Patriots are too good. And they'll say the same thing now that Plax won't be with the Giants this year. All he's done is make the playoffs every year as the starting QB and bring home a Super Bowl ring against a team nobody gave them chance of winning.
