Despite a poor showing in the final game of the playoffs this season, the Giants’ Eli Manning is riding the wave of last year’s Super Bowl victory into what will probably be an NFL record contract. Manning who’s numbers have always been good but by no means great, has proven to the NY Brass that he is worth throwing some money at so he doesn’t leave when his free agency kicks end after the Super Bowl.

Early indications are that Manning will likely join the $100 Million quarterback club with a contract in excess of 15 Million dollars a year and will reportedly hold 40 Million dollars in guarantees. Regardless of the final numbers, he is sure to be up in the top tier along with Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb (12 years, $115million), Cincinnati’s Carson Palmer (nine years, $118.75 million), and former Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick (10 years, $130 million).

The burden of proof will be on Eli to prove his worth over the next few years, otherwise, we all know that the fans in New York have very short term memories when it comes to superstar’s performances.

At any rate, you can bet that New York Giants tickets will be at a premium in 2009 and beyond. You know you wanna grab some and enjoy Manning and Co.
