<p class="js-tweet-text">Looks like Eli Manning did a simple
restructuring of his contract to lower his base this season by about
$9m. Checking it out now. <s>#</s>nyg</p>

Eli isn't stupid. He knows he needs his pieces, that being Nicks and Cruz. We should be good with the cap once the TV deal hits in 2014. GO BLUE!

[DavenIII]

Eli is the man, I'm glad all those years of defending him have come to fruition, there is literally no other QB in the league I'd rather have leading our team.

[MattMeyerBud]

amen daven...

so how much does this free up on our cap

****in Eli man. After restructuring last year, he didn't have to do it this year..

goddamn im glad we have Eli - I love seeing Moorehead all of a sudden agree too ( [] )

<p class="js-tweet-text">Also according to NFLPA records, Eli Manning's 2012 salary dropped from $10.75M to $1.75M. That could create some cap room ... <s>#</s>NYG</p>

[Itlan]

I think it saves about 2 million.

<p class="js-tweet-text">His cap number is now $9.6M for this
season, which is nearly $7M less than it was. ... It balloons to over
$20M next year, though. <s>#</s>NYG</p>

[kbusch22]

Yeah, this will be a huge help for this year. Next year though, look for a LOT of cuts to be made because all of the money Eli has restructured is going to start to pile up.
