Giants | Eli Manning still the face of the franchise

New York Giants QB Eli Manning remains the face of the franchise despite a disappointing season that saw him toss 27 interceptions. ‘Well listen, he did not have a good year,’ owner John Mara said. ‘He’d be the first one to tell you that. But he had a lot of company… He’s still the face of the franchise, and we need to help him. We need to give him some better tools and do a better job around him next year.’ Manning’s current contract is set to expire in 2016, and the team is open to signing him to an extension this offseason.

Giants | Not counting on David Wilson

The New York Giants will not count on RB David Wilson (neck) to be their lead back next season after he played in only five games and landed on the Injured Reserve list with a herniated disc in his neck in 2013. ‘I don’t think you go into the next season saying David Wilson’s going to be our No. 1 starting running back,’ general manager Jerry Reese said. ‘The guy is coming off of a neck surgery, if he decides to have it.’ The Giants are optimistic that Wilson will continue his career, but it’s not set in stone.

Jets | Will look at QBs in offseason

New York Jets general manager John Idzik said the team plans to look at quarterbacks in the offseason even though QB Geno Smith started every game this year and improved late in the season. Head coach Rex Ryan stopped short of saying Smith would be the starter heading into training camp next year. ‘We’re all excited about having Geno as part of the New York Jets,’ Idzik said, ‘but we will always look to improve any position.’ Smith said he has a ‘bright future’ with the team despite finishing with a league-low passer rating of 66.5 in his rookie season.
