early in the draft and begin setting the stage for a future without Eli Manning http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-evan-engram-jersey , but next year isn’t something that’s on Manning’s mind right now.Manning is entering the final year of his contract and the team’s plans for their longtime starter have been a major talking point for the last couple of years. On Monday, Manning showed little interest in participating in that game.“Yeah. I’ve never concerned myself with that,” Manning said Patrick Omameh Jersey , via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “I think every year I’m just worried about that next year. I’m thinking about right now, this team, getting wins and doing whatever it takes to be a good teammate.”Manning’s focus on the present doesn’t blind him to what’s going on with the team. He said he figures the team will get a young quarterback Womens Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , but that he still has to “go out and play quarterback and win football games” until the team puts someone else in that spot.The team’s been cagier about its plans for the draft (or other avenues to pick up a new quarterback), but it won’t be long before everyone has a clearer idea of the timeline for what will be a major change to the Giants lineup. The notion of expanding the regular season schedule to 18 games has been revived recently as the NFL and NFLPA work on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.Former Giants quarterback Phil Simms believes that a vote of all players would show they are in favor of the expansion, but the NFLPA has not expressed support for the move when it has come up in the past. Their stance appears to be the same this time around.Giants long snapper (and son of a Simms teammate) Zak DeOssie is on the NFLPA executive committee as a vice president and he was asked about going to 18 games this week.“We don’t need 18 games Phil McConkey Jersey ,” DeOssie said, via Bob Glauber of . “It’s just more opportunity to get hurt. The game is physical enough. It’s hard enough. The argument is there’s more money to be had collectively to play 18 games, but health and safety is paramount to us. Always has been. And we think the NFL is going pretty well right now http://www.giantslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-adams-jersey , so I don’t see why adding two more games would be necessary.”DeOssie and Simms both mentioned that more games would lead to more money and that’s why many feel that the league will eventually offer a concession to the union that paves the way to a longer season.
