Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, already a legendary figure within the franchise, may soon deepen his connection to the team. According to a recent Bloomberg report, Manning has held discussions with potential investors—including retired NFL players—about acquiring a minority ownership stake in the Giants.
Manning seems poised to follow a similar path to fellow NFL great Tom Brady, who received approval last year for his minority ownership in the Las Vegas Raiders. Earlier this year, reports emerged that the Giants were considering selling a minority, non-controlling stake in the team. To explore this option, the franchise hired investment firm Moelis & Company as an advisor. Bloomberg estimates the Giants’ current value at around $8 billion.
The Giants have been jointly owned by the Mara and Tisch families since 1991, with each holding a 50% share. The Mara family’s involvement with the team dates back to its founding in 1925 by Timothy Mara. John Mara and Steve Tisch have overseen operations since 2005.
Manning, who retired in 2019, holds franchise records for career passing yards (57,023) and touchdown passes (366). Drafted first overall by the San Diego Chargers in 2004 and traded to the Giants on draft day, he spent 16 seasons in New York, made four Pro Bowls, won two Super Bowls, and earned a place in the Giants Ring of Honor with his No. 10 jersey retired.
