The Giants have agreed to a 4-year, $84 million contract extension with Eli Manning, ESPN's Chris Mortensen first reported.
According to Mortensen, $65 million is guaranteed. The $21 million yearly average over the next four years ranks fourth among quarterbacks in the NFL behind Aaron Rodgers ($22 million), Russell Wilson ($21.9 million), and Ben Roethlisberger ($21.85).
Earlier this summer, reports suggested that Manning wanted to be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. Manning quickly refuted this claim.
The contract extension also includes a no-trade clause, reportedly the biggest hurdle between the two sides during the negotiation.
Manning will make $17.5 million this season in the final year of his old contract before the extension goes into effect. As Mortensen noted, that will give the two-time Super Bowl MVP a five-year total of $101.5 million.
