At $107M, Giants Make Eli NFL's Richest QB

Peyton is going to be so jealous. Eli Manning and the New York Giants have agreed to a 7-year, $106.9 million deal that will make the younger Manning the NFL’s highest-paid quarterback, the Daily News reports. The deal locks down Manning until 2015, and though it’s not the largest in NFL history, its $15.27 million average salary is a record.

Manning’s agent had declared it his goal to make Manning the game’s highest-paid player, and NFL sources expected him to get about $120 million. But the contract does puts the 28-year-old among an elite class of $100 million quarterbacks, a list his older brother (7 years, $98 million) hasn’t quite cracked. (More Eli Manning stories.)
