This week, Dave Gettleman underwent his “State of the New York Giants” press conference, one of his few meetings with the media each season. The veteran general manager answered the expected questions about Pat Shurmur‘s firing along with the organization’s overall position heading into the 2020 campaign.
But there was one specific question Gettleman received when it came to Eli Manning. The longtime quarterback only played four games this season, having been benched for rookie Daniel Jones. Nonetheless, he cost the team $23.2 million in cap space, and he sat on the bench for much of the year.
