The Kansas City Model might become the Green Bay Model.

Just because the Giants drafted Daniel Jones with the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft doesn’t mean he will be the starter in 2020 after learning from Eli Manning. To that end, 2019 might not be Manning’s final season.

Giants general manager Dave Gettleman said the Giants could sit Jones for as long as three seasons, just like Aaron Rodgers once did behind Hall of Famer Brett Favre.

“Maybe we’re going to be the Green Bay Model, where Rodgers sat for three years. Who knows?” Gettleman. “You can never have too many good players at one position.”

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, but when it comes to the Giants’ loyalty to Manning, all bets are off.

Rodgers was drafted No. 25 overall by an annual playoff team in 2005.

Jones was drafted ahead of defensive impact players like Ed Oliver and Josh Allen who could’ve helped the Giants win more games in the 38-year-old Manning’s twilight years.

“We drafted a quarterback that we believe is a franchise quarterback,” Gettleman said. “That’s really the long and the short of it.”

The Giants didn’t want to risk waiting until No. 17 and hoping Jones still was available. He might have been, because the only other quarterback who came off the board in the first round was Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins (No. 15 to the Redskins).

Manning has made it clear he thinks he can play multiple more seasons even though he is on the final year of his contract. He also doesn’t see himself wearing another uniform after 16 seasons.

The Chiefs had Patrick Mahomes learn under Alex Smith for a season before trading Smith to the Redskins. Mahomes became NFL MVP in his first season as the starter.

So, is that the plan for Manning? Force him to retire after one more season?

“Absolutely not,” Gettleman said.

Gettleman would not discuss the “hypothetical” of giving Manning a contract extension. Giants co-owner John Mara already said the Giants will take it one year at a time with Manning.
