Eli wants to be paid more than any other QB

[yesfan]

Really, unless the Giants are built for another run I can't see why they
would.

I want Eli to be paid more than any other quarterback too. Hopefully it will be a long contract that the Giants have to choke on for a long time.

Didn't he say something outrageous before they won their last SB?

Eli Manning wants to be highest-paid player in NFL

Now that Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers have landed long-term contract extensions, the attention turns to another highly decorated member of the 2004 quarterback draft class.

Although the New York Giants hope to sign Eli Manning to a new deal by the start of the season, a "significant gap" remains in negotiations, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday's edition of NFL Total Access.

That gap is unlikely to close anytime soon, as Manning is pushing to become the game's highest-paid player, per Rapoport.

Manning isn't a top-five NFL quarterback, much less on par with 2014 Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers, who currently ranks as the league's highest-paid quarterback.

That said, agent Tom Condon believes Manning is "uniquely suited" to be the Giants' quarterback because he's proven unflappable in the media spotlight.

My response to Eli: LOL

You don't think of Eli having a huge ego but there ya go. Interesting if it caused him to move on, ya know he would be in demand.

 

[Tabascocat]

Sad part is that he is going to get it.....or at least real close.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Must be part of his "Bad Comedian Eli Manning" routine.
I wonder if right after he said that, if there was a rimshot?
