Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Eli Manning‘s contract with the Giants includes a no-trade clause and it’s unlikely he’s going to be moved before next week’s deadline.
The Jaguars were tossed out as a speculative landing spot for Manning after they benched Blake Bortles last week. However, Rapoport says that Jacksonville believes the quarterbacks on their roster are better than the available options in the trade market including Manning and Tyrod Taylor.
It will be interesting to see how the Giants handle their starting quarterback situation this time around if they continue to lose games. New York has rookie Kyle Lauletta as their backup to Manning right now.
Manning, 37, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2004. He was traded to the Giants during the draft and has spent all 14 years of his career in New York.
Manning is in the fourth year of his five-year, $101.5 million contract that included $65 million guaranteed and stands to make base salaries of $10.5 million and $11.5 million over the final two years of the agreement.
In 2018, Manning has appeared in seven games for the Giants and thrown for 2,061 yards while completing 69 percent of his passes to go along with seven touchdowns and four interceptions.
