Could Eli Manning be moving into an already crowded owner’s box with the New York Giants?

As reported by Bloomberg, the former Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl winner is putting together a bid for a minority stake in the team. 

Manning’s agent did not immediately respond to Daily Mail’s request for confirmation and a Giants spokesman was unaware of any bid.

The Mara and Tisch families, who own the Giants, announced in February that they were considering the sale of a non-controlling stake. Interestingly, Manning told CNBC he’d consider buying into Big Blue just one month earlier.

‘There’s probably only one team I’d be interested in pursuing,’ he told CNBC in January. ‘It’s the one I played for for 16 years.’

As 10 percent of the team is up for sale, according to Bloomberg, but that stake could be divided by a number of investors.

Manning, 44, earned more than $250 million in salary over his 16-year NFL career. Since then, he has added significant broadcast and advertising income, and now owns stakes in private equity firm Brand Velocity Group and the NWSL’s Gotham FC.

The Giants were founded by the Mara family but sold 50-percent of the team to the Tisch family in 1991 after winning a second Super Bowl. 

Wellington Mara and Bob Tisch have since pᴀssed away, but the team has won another pair of Super Bowl тιтles with their sons, team CEO John Mara, and his co-owner Steve Tisch.

A stake in the Giants – even a small one – could be pricy.

The team is worth an estimated $7.3 billion, according to Forbes, and boasted $691 million in revenue in 2023.

Manning’s potential purchase of a stake in the Giants comes after former New England Patriots teammates Tom Brady and Richard Seymour bought a piece of the Las Vegas Raiders.
