The New York Giants have taken a few major steps toward reshaping the coaching staff that included the hiring of Dave Gettleman as the team's next general manager.
However, there has remained questions about the long-term future of quarterback Eli Manning. It appears that much of that may have been resolved with Gettleman revealing to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post that he and Manning recently had an encouraging sitdown together.
“Yes, it was a great meeting,’’ Gettleman told The Post on Thursday. “Eli, obviously on this team, there’s only three guys who are still here from when I left. Eli, Zak DeOssie and JPP [Jason Pierre-Paul].’’
These comments certainly give off the vibe that Manning will continue to occupy the starting quarterback role for the Giants in the 2018 campaign. This comes a few weeks after Gettleman had stated that the 37-year-old still has a grip hold over the starting job.
Manning currently has two more years oft on his four-year, $84 million deal with New York. He has also voiced his desire to remain with the team, which the support for that route appears to be growing increasingly stronger.
