When Giants fans turn up at Giants Stadium Sunday to watch the home team play the Cowboys in the 2018 season finale — however many bother to do so based on this disappointing second consecutive year out of the playoffs — there will a distinct undercurrent of emotion flowing through the building.
It’s possible that Eli Manning will be playing his final game with the Giants after 15 seasons, 230 starts, more than 55,000 yards passing, nearly 360 touchdown passes and — most importantly — two Super Bowl titles.
Reading the tea leaves, you get the feeling that Manning will be back for one more season in 2019, the final year of his contract, but at a reduced rate from the $23 million he’s scheduled to count against the salary cap.
