I dont think the benching has anything to do with the Giants season per se or affixing blame for it.

It is looking like this is more the new coach wants to go in a different direction and Eli isnt part of that picture.

Eli is under contract until 2020 and also has a no trade clause but is 37 and is due a 5 million bonus in March if he is still a Giant.

Given the paucity of quality qb's out there, he could bring a hefty price in a trade. Is much like when the Colts let go of Peyton. And, there is nothing more effective in ushering someone out of their no trade clause than making them feel unwelcome and unwanted....especially if they still want to play.

IF they are looking to trade him, there is no reason to put him out there with a porous offensive line and risk him being hurt.

Wouldnt be surprised if Beckman, when healthy, also finds himself on the trading block for the right return. He is a very good receiver but his lack of maturity diminishes his overall worth.

IF there is a trade offer, I look to the Jacksonville Jaguars to jump on it!

This article about potential suitors was interesting .......possibilities

And then there is this one .... Eli Manning has two years remaining on his current four-year contract extension. He is due to cost the Giants team-high cap hits of $22.2 million in 2018 and $23.2 million in 2019, figures that foreshadowed a likely shift away from Manning, 36, even before Tuesday’s benching. ramifications

Lots of speculative possibilities but only the Giants know the truth behind this.

I'm just trying to figure out if it is wise to pick Oakland over the Giants for survival football this week. LOL.

Well Dallas looked like an entirely different team out there last night. Morris looked great bulldozing his way thru the defensive line. Prescott was throwing with confidence. Bryant was looking invincible when he was given the opportunity to do his thing.

Washington, on the other hand, was channeling their inner Keystone cops. Plenty of blooper material there. I know they are struggling after losing key starters to season ending injuries but that was a brilliant display of how not to play professional football. They did look good in their red uniforms tho.

Not even going to talk about how I picked up Washington players and dropped Dallas players for my fantasy teams this week.

I didn't see it - was too sleepy to stay up. But from the final score I assume it was a bloodbath.
