The New York Giants appear very close to signing quarterback Eli Manning to a 7 yr – $99.2 million contact. This deal would surpass the deal his brother Peyton signed. Peyton Manning received $34 million in guarantees a few seasons ago. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger signed a 8 year – $102 million extension with $36 million in guarantees last off-season.
