The deal has not be finalized by Manning’s signature, but that’s expected to happen later today. In 11 NFL seasons (all in New York), the two-time Super Bowl MVP has thrown 39,755 yards. Manning has 259 career touchdown passes.
The former No. 1 pick in 2004 has said several times that he would like to finish his career in the Big Apple. This deal, featuring $65 million guaranteed, would make Manning the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback, topping Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger.
At Ole Miss, Manning won several national awards and finished third in Heisman voting in 2003.
