EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — General manager Dave Gettleman and two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning had a no-holds barred conversion about the long-time quarterback’s future with the New York Giants after the team missed the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons.
Gettleman would not say Wednesday whether Manning, who will turn 38 on Thursday, would be back for a 16th season.
Gettleman will do what is in the best interests of the Giants (5-11) and would not say whether Manning’s $23 million salary cap hit will play a role in the decision, noting those decisions are not made in a vacuum.
