At $107M, Giants Make Eli NFL's Richest QB

Share

(Newser) – Peyton is going to be so jealous. Eli Manning and the New York Giants have agreed to a 7-year, $106.9 million deal that will make the younger Manning the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback, the Daily News reports. The deal locks down Manning until 2015, and though it’s not the largest in NFL history, its $15.27 million average salary is a record.

Manning’s agent had declared it his goal to make Manning the game’s highest-paid player, and NFL sources expected him to get about $120 million. But the contract does puts the 28-year-old among an elite class of $100 million quarterbacks, a list his older brother (7 years, $98 million) hasn’t quite cracked.

Perhaps he'll share his extra, not-doing-anything-with-it MILLION$ with poor ole dog torturer/killer-for-fun Michael Vick. Reply

That's obscene. Nobody is worth that much money. They should lower the ticket prices for the fans instead of paying huge salaries.

I think hes a whiny little brat. I remember when he got drafted by the Chargers and refused to play for them...they had to trade with NY for Phillip Rivers. Reply

Football chick flick lacks suspense, delivers happy ending

Nov 20, 09 1:25 PM CST
(Newser) - The Blind Side lacks inherent suspense—it's based on the true story of Michael Oher, a rookie offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
