Eli Manning was not with the New York Giants this season for the first time since 2003, but the two-time Super Bowl champion could be returning to the organization in the very near future.
Manning visited with the Giants this week and expressed to owner John Mara that he wants to return to the team in a front office role. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News believes Manning will take on an ambassador-type role and could be involved in both the business and football sides.
Can confirm: Eli Manning visited Giants Monday, told John Mara he’s interested in coming back (picking up last year’s convo they agreed to revisit). Preliminary conversations are about an ambassador type role, possibly involved in both the business side & on player/football side. https://t.co/3yJhkWDtjw

This is hardly a surprise. Manning is one of the most important figures in the history of the Giants organization, and he was always expected to remain a part of the franchise’s plans.
Manning seems to be enjoying retirement, and he has entertained us with some incredible tweets this year. Hopefully he keeps it up even after getting back to work.
