2-time Super Bowl-winning Eli Manning’s post-retirement calendar is as bustling as it was when he played for the New York Giants. Now, it seems like he wants to be back at the Giants again, though not in the way most ex-players do. Manning has admitted that he wants to be a team owner in the NFL and his words clearly elucidate which club he’s gunning for.

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.

And luckily, Manning has not abandoned the idea of Chad Powers altogether. “We’ll see if there’s a good idea for the legend of Chad to live on,” he said.
