Eli Manning’s future with the Giants ‘remains uncertain’

After another disappointing season, veteran quarterback Eli Manning of the New York Giants could very well be on the move. The rumors have been swirling about Manning’s future with the team, and everything seems to be leaning toward a parting of the ways.

Odell Beckham Jr’s future with the team is secure, but the same can’t be said for Manning, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.

The New York Giants made it clear that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is part of their current plans, while quarterback Eli Manning’s future remains uncertain.

Giants general manager Dave Gettleman talked about the Manning’s future and left the door wide open for his return or his departure, via Raanan.

“I’m committed to making the best decision in the interest of the New York Football Giants,” Gettleman said when asked if Manning would return for his 16th season. “We’re in the evaluation process. OK, I know that you guys want answers now, but very frankly I didn’t come in [New Year’s Day]. I’m going to do what I do, which is get in my office and watch film. … My commitment is to make this team the best team it can be. And if that happens to have Eli playing quarterback, it does.”

With running back Saquon Barkley turning into a legitimate star in his first season and Beckham returning, the Giants have an intriguing future with these two players leading the way. The real question is the quarterback position and whether the team will pursue an upgrade during the offseason in free agency or via the NFL Draft.

Only time will tell, but it appears as though the franchise is preparing for the future without Manning under center.
