Manning cashing in with big postseason
By Adam Schefter | NFL Network
This postseason, New York quarterback Eli Manning has rewarded the Giants for dealing for him after he was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. And the Giants have rewarded Manning for the best back-to-back games of his career.
Manning earned $500,000 in bonuses for the Giants' two playoff victories -- $250,000 for beating Tampa Bay in the wild-card round, and another $250,000 for beating Dallas in the divisional playoffs, according to the language in the quarterback's contract.
But this could be just the start of Manning cashing in. Should the Giants beat the Packers in Sunday night's NFC Championship Game in Green Bay, Manning would earn another $500,000. So it is not just the NFC Championship Game for Manning; it is the half-million-dollar NFC Championship Game.
And if Manning led the Giants to a victory in Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 3, he would earn another $500,000.
Good work if you can get it.
Those who know Manning know the last thing he is thinking of are the bonuses in his contract. But Manning is getting married in Mexico in March, and so far, what he has earned in the playoffs goes a long way to covering any expenses he will incur.
