The former Giants quarterback spoke to ‘Front Office Sports’ about his dreams of acquiring an NFL team ownership. “It’s of interest. It’s just got to be the right fit. I don’t think the Giants are going to be for sale anytime soon.” On whether he’s interested in buying in on another club, he doesn’t feel very enthusiastic about “the idea of joining another team that you have no history with.”

Manning played with the Giants for 16 seasons, and led them to 2 Super Bowls, both against Tom Brady‘s New England Patriots. The first time, they achieved an upset victory over a Patriots team that was undefeated all season. The Giants inducted him into the Giants’ Ring of Honor in 2021 and retired his #10 jersey.

And of course, no one can forget the legendary Chad Powers. In 2022, Manning disguised himself as a college freshman and tried out the Pennsylvania State University’s walk-in tryouts. His iconic catchphrases “Fast Chad” and “Think Fast, Run Fast” are still popular among fans.

The possibilities are endless.
