Longtime Giants QB <br />Eli Manning to Retire The 39-year-old two-time Super Bowl MVP will <br />officially make the announcement on Friday. He steps away from the NFL after <br />16 seasons and two championships with New York. In his last year, Manning played in only four games, handing the <br />reins to rookie QB Daniel Jones. Manning was originally taken <br />first overall in the 2004 Draft <br />by the Chargers. San Diego then traded the <br />Ole Miss star to the Giants, <br />where he spent his entire career. Manning ends his run with <br />366 TD passes, good for <br />seventh all-time. He is also seventh in <br />all-time passing yards and <br />started 210 straight NFL games, which is the third-longest streak in league history for an NFL quarterback.
