EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The door has been left ajar. Eli Manning's future with the New York Giants remains uncertain going into this offseason.
That is where everything stands on Jan. 3, which just so happens to be Manning's 38th birthday. He has one year remaining on a contract that has a no-trade clause and will pay him $17 million if he's on the roster for the 2019 season.
Except there are no guarantees. Manning initiated a sit-down with general manager Dave Gettleman on Monday that was extensive and "no-holds-barred," according to Gettleman.
