New York Giants fans have called on owners John Mara and Steve Tisch to sell the team after opting to retain general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, but that’s obviously not going to happen.
But might they entertain the idea of selling a minority share?
If that were ever to come to pass, retired Giants legend and future Hall of Famer, Eli Manning, would be interested in taking on that role.
“It’s definitely something of interest,” Manning told Alex Sherman of CNBC Sports. “There’s probably only one team I’d be interested in pursuing, and it’s the one I played for 16 years, and it’s local and makes the most sense, but we just got to figure out if they would ever sell a little bit or how that might happen for the Giants.”
Since retirement, Manning has assumed a part-time job with the team in the marketing department. He’s also taken on several other roles, including The Eli Manning Show and the ManningCast, while continuing to work with the Jay Fund Foundation, Tackle Kids Cancer, and Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
Manning, like long-time rival Tom Brady, has also dipped his toe into franchise ownership. He has a small stake in the New Jersey/New York Gotham Football Club of the National Women’s Soccer League.
Brady, of course, not only owns a stake in a women’s soccer team but is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
“I think my quest post-football is trying to find that passion and find something similar that I can work towards or am truly committed to,” Manning said. “I kind of feel like I get to start over a little bit, and I’m enjoying that learning process of figuring out what else I’m passionate about.”
A share of the Giants coming up for sale seems highly unlikely but should that day ever arrive, Manning will be there waiting at the front door.
