With all the upheaval surrounding the New York Giants these days, the one constant appears to be the status of veteran quarterback Eli Manning.

Many believe the Giants are planning on Eli being their starting quarterback this season and it appears his salary and $23.2 million cap hit for the final year of his contract may remain intact.

What I have learned about the Giants’ plan in the past 24 hours: 1. They’re not planning to cut Eli, even with a $5M roster bonus due Sunday. 2. There’s still a chance they don’t take a QB in this year’s draft. More here: https://t.co/YFKyn0rzXb — Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) March 14, 2019

If that is true, Manning will have earned a total of $252,280,004 — the most of any player in the history of the NFL.

Reportedly set to stick w/ the #Giants, Eli Manning's $17M to be earned in 2019 will raise his career earnings to $252.3M, surpassing his brother Peyton ($248M) to become the highest earning player in NFL history.https://t.co/mYAayXnbeO — Spotrac (@spotrac) March 14, 2019

Many Giants fans have been trying to run Eli out of town on a rail for several years now and on the heels of the unpopular trade of star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. still sinking in, those fans are going to lose their proverbial minds over this factoid.

In his career, the two-time Super Bowl MVP initially signed a six-year, $45 million contract as a rookie. In 2009, the Giants inked Eli to a six-year extension worth $97.5 million. His current contract, drawn up in 2015, was for four years, $84 million.

Manning restructured just one time. Before the 2012 season, when the team converted $9 million of his $10.75 million salary into a restructure bonus.

The Giants don’t have much latitude with Eli’s current deal as it sunsets this coming season. The 38-year-old is due to earn a base salary of $11.5 million this year with $5.5 million in bonuses that kick in on March 17.
