Giants co-owner John Mara said he would like Eli Manning to return to the team in 2018, but that the organization is open to selecting a quarterback in the first round of next year's draft.
“Yes,” Mara answered when asked by Newsday whether he wants Manning to return. “But that’s a discussion that we’ll have.”
Mara also said the Giants could name a replacement as early as next week for general manager Jerry Reese, who was followed along with coach Ben McAdoo after the Giants' Week 13 loss to the Raiders. Former Giants director of personnel Dave Gettleman is rumored to be the front runner for the position.
