New York Giants QB Eli Manning landed the big money, and he received a nice little cherry on top, too. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Manning is set to sign a four-year, $84 million extension, with $65 million guaranteed — numbers that are in line with Thursday's report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Manning was on the verge of agreeing to. But Schefter reports that Manning also received a key element: a no-trade clause that could keep him in New York for a long time. [ Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league today! ] Manning's deal is in line with the extensions signed this offseason by Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger — the other draft class of 2004 stars — and the Giants now control his deal through the season Manning turns 38 years old. Over the next five years, including this year's existing contract, Manning will make $101.5 million. Deadlines tend to spur action, and Manning and agent Tom Condon had said they didn't want to negotiate during the season, and so two days before the Giants face off against the Dallas Cowboys, Manning got locked up. [ Yahoo Daily Fantasy Football: Enter our $1 Million Week 1 contest ] The money is consistent with what franchise quarterbacks of Eli's ilk are getting these days. But the no-trade clause is a huge win for Manning, who once famously forced his way out of landing with the San Diego Chargers when he came out for the draft and now has say over where he's playing for four additional years. - - - - - - - Eric Edholm is a writer for Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Sports.
