Not that this should come as a surprise, but the New York Giants have no plans of trading quarterback Eli Manning ahead of the 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline on Tuesday, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News.
Manning has a no-trade clause, so even if the Giants wanted to move him, he could have killed any potential deals.
The 38-year-old is in the final year of his contract, so if he retires at the end of this season, he will end his career in New York.
Manning made two starts this season, throwing for 556 yards, a couple of touchdowns and a pair of interceptions while completing 62.9 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 78.7.
The Giants lost both of those games, prompting head coach Pat Shurmur to bench Manning in favor of rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones, who went on to win his first two games as the starter before losing four straight contests since.
Manning, who played his collegiate football at the University of Mississippi, was originally selected by the San Diego Chargers with the first overall pick in 2004, but, of course, he was traded to the Giants for Philip Rivers.
Manning took over as the Giants' full-time starting quarterback midway through his rookie campaign and would go on to forge the most successful career of any quarterback in Giants history, winning a couple of Super Bowl titles and earning Super Bowl MVP honors both times.
However, over the past several years, Manning has been on a significant decline, which ultimately cost him his starting job this season.
