New York Giants draft pick Eli Manning displays his new Giants jersey as he is introduced to Giants fans in this April 24, 2004 photo, at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Top overall draft pick Eli Manning agreed Thursday to a $54 million, six-year contract with the New York Giants that will pay him a rookie-record $20 million signing bonus.

The Ole Miss quarterback's bonus is believed to be the second highest in NFL history, behind only the $34.5 million the Indianapolis Colts gave his brother Peyton in March. That deal also was negotiated by agent Tom Condon, who represents both Mannings.


Nice pop! What do you guys think about the money these players get just for signing?

When I lived in LA, my next door neighbor was Barry Bond's agent. He made a fortune just brokering the deals for these kind of high end players. Amazing the money that can be made in sports now.

Kid doesnt even need the money, I went to school at Ole Miss at the same time as him, his parents have a $500,000 condo in town, and he had a several hundred thousand dollar apartment that Peyton bought for him.

He's a damn good quarterback though, I want to see him and Peyton play against each other in the SuperBowl, lol

Giants are gonna blow again this year :1orglaugh

Fuck that is a lot of money!

P. Rivers is prob asking that from SD Chargers! Like he is going to get it from those tight asses.:(

all that money and these athletes are still as dumb as they come.

i use to pick fights with jocks in high-school and my view of them has not changed.

idiots.

they are bred to be pushed around

cannot pass a history test to save their grade but they can get a contract for 50 mil.

Giants will win about 5 games this year, and I'm betting Eli turns out to be average at best. He won't have Payton type numbers.

Ryan Leaf part 2?

I will start training my twin boys to be Q.B.'s today!

I have 16 years to prepare them for college football!

Damn I thought you were talking about Peyton... thought he got trades somehow :1orglaugh
