No one knows what the future holds for New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning past this season. He is in the final year of his contract and with the Giants turning the keys over to rookie Daniel Jones, if Manning wants to continue his career, he’ll likely have to do it elsewhere.
After watching Manning toss two touchdowns on Monday night against the Eagles, there are some who think Eli can help a team become a winner next year should he decide to play on.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre thinks Manning can definitely put the right team over the top. Favre came out of retirement after his career with the Packers to play with the Jets and then the Vikings so he knows there is life after 40 in the NFL.

Eli chose not to waive his no-trade clause in his contract this past October so he can stay close to his family and the Giants, should they have needed him, which turned out to be the case.
In March, he’ll be a free agent and if he gets signed by a team, will count towards the compensatory draft pick formula for 2021.
