Giants set the stage for Eli Manning’s return after years of struggles

 The New York Giants have faced several years of struggles since Eli Manning's departure in 2020, which is why the team could potentially be eyeing a comeback for the legendary quarterback soon.

Eli Manning‘s departure in 2020 left a significant gap for the New York Giants—one they have yet to fill. Now, the team could be eyeing his return to help them rebuild into a successful franchise once again.



In recent history, Eli Manning is widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks the NFC has seen. He famously led the Giants to two Super Bowl victories over Tom Brady and the Patriots—a feat few quarterbacks can claim.

After a highly successful career, Manning decided to retire in 2020. However, his return to football could be on the horizon, as the Giants may be looking to bring him back in a larger role.

Rumors: Giants could be targeting Eli Manning’s return in a new capacity

Eli Manning will always be remembered as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Giants history—if not the greatest. He led the NFC East franchise to two Super Bowl titles, toppling the dominant Patriots dynasty both times.

However, his retirement in 2020 left New York with a major challenge: finding his replacement. The Giants attempted to fill the void with Daniel Jones, but he failed to meet expectations and was released during the 2024 NFL season. Now, the team is once again in search of a franchise quarterback, and Manning could play a crucial role in that process.

Recent reports have revealed that the Giants are looking to sell a 10% stake in the team. Back in 2022, Manning expressed interest in becoming a minority owner if such an opportunity ever became available.

“It’s of interest, it’s just got to be the right fit,” Manning said in an interview with FOS in 2022, adding that “I don’t think the Giants are going to be for sale anytime soon.”



While he currently holds a business operations and fan engagement role within the organization, purchasing a stake in the team would give him greater influence over key decisions. His experience and leadership could prove invaluable in helping the front office build a more competitive roster in the near future.

What is the New York Giants’ current value?

According to Forbes, the New York Giants are currently valued at $7.3 billion, making them the fourth-most valuable NFL franchise. They rank behind the Patriots, Rams, and Cowboys, the latter of which leads the list at $10.1 billion.

The team is co-owned by John Mara and Steve Tisch, who each hold a 50% stake. The franchise was originally purchased by Tim Mara, John’s grandfather, in 1925 for just $500. The Tisch family later bought their share in 1991.

He affirmed that the budget efficiency is targeting only those aspects that are considered non-substantial, such as working visits or ceremonial activities, therefore, the scholarship budget is intact and unaffected by the policy.
