EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning has no problem heading into the upcoming season playing the final year of his contract with the New York Giants.
Speaking on Monday as the team started voluntary offseason workouts, Manning said his only concern was to get ready for a season in which Tom Coughlin’s team looks to end a three-year playoff drought.
Manning will earn $17 million this year under terms of a $97.5 million deal signed in 2010.
The 34-year-old Manning said he hopes to complete 70 percent of his passes, throw fewer than 10 interceptions and see the offense makes strides under second-year offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo.
Manning also said contract rules that force him to work with his receivers away from team facilities in the offseason are ridiculous.
