Giants Coach Pat Shurmur ends speculation about Eli Manning’s future with team
Eli Manning will be back with the Giants in 2019. By Matt Bonesteel Matt Bonesteel Reporter for the Early Lead Email Bio Follow February 27 at 11:42 AM At some point in the near future, the New York Giants will move on from Eli Manning. They’ve gone just 8-23 in games he’s started over the past two seasons and, while the team’s problems are not solely because of its quarterback, Manning hasn’t exactly helped moved the rebuilding process along.
“I do,” he responded, pointing out that “in the last half of last season, with the guys around him playing better, that allowed us to see more of what Eli can do.”“There’s all these narratives — you know, the next franchise quarterback, replace this guy, do all this,” Shurmur said. “We’re trying to make our team better. It’s no mystery: Eli’s closer to 40 than he is 20.
“You can’t be afraid to draft [a player at a position that’s already filled] just because you already got one," he said. “The more competition you can create, the better your team will be, and you have to create competition at every position.”Manning has one year left on his contract and will cost the Giants $23.2 million against their salary cap in 2019, the 10th-highest quarterback total in the NFL.
