Add one more element to the sibling rivalry. Eli Manning is set to sign a mega-deal with the New York Giants worth $97 million over six years; surpassing his big brother Peyton of the Indianapolis Colts. The deal will make him one of—if not the—highest paid player in the NFL. The New York Post reports that the entire contract will likely be worth around $107 million. Eli was the MVP in the Giants' thrilling Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots, and has led his team to the playoffs the previous fours seasons. Still, Eli's performance towards the end of last season left many fans nervous, as the Giants were quickly booted from the playoffs. Let's hope the new contract doesn't go to Eli's head: Michael Vick was also at one time the NFL's highest paid player.
