Eli Manning says goodbye

16 years is a long time for a player to be employed by an NFL team. Manning set a franchise record for seasons played by suiting up this season, breaking the previous mark of 15 held by Michael Strahan and Phil Simms.

He played the first two games of the season before management decided to insert first round pick Daniel Jones into the starting lineup. Manning sat on the sidelines until Week 14 when he stepped back into the starting role after Jones suffered a high ankle sprain.

Manning started two games, the second a victory at home against the Miami Dolphins, where the home fans were able to say a proper goodbye to the two-time Super Bowl MVP giving him a standing ovation.
