When the New York Giants agreed to trade wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday night, many wondered what it meant for the future of quarterback Eli Manning.

By trading Beckham away, it appears the Giants are committing to a full rebuild. And if that is the case, it makes little sense to cling to an aging Manning, who is entering the final year of his contract and will account for $23.2 million against the cap in 2019.

But very little about the Giants’ and general manager Dave Gettleman’s approach has made sense in recent weeks, so it should come as little surprise that the team remains fully committed to Manning despite trading away his No. 1 target and one of the team’s premiere play-makers, reports Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.

The stunning trade of Odell Beckham Jr. to the Browns on Tuesday did not alter any of those plans, multiple sources have told SNY. Manning is still expected to be the Giants’ starting quarterback at the start of training camp, at the very least. And there is no indication at all that they’ll attempt to cut his pay.

As Vacchiano alludes, this stance is subject to change, but by all accounts, it’s not going to.

Whether or not Manning returns in 2020 is the real question, but at least for now — for reasons that are not abundantly clear — he’ll remain under center in 2019 and try to push the organization forward in what is otherwise a very dark time.
