ELI MANNING THINKS HE CAN PLAY TO AT LEAST 40…
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is 35-years old and healthy. He hopes he can play at a high level for at least another five years.

“I feel great,” Manning said. “I’m very healthy, have been very fortunate there. I feel like I have my best football ahead of me and can play at an extremely high level. For the last two or three years I’ve said I have five more years in me. I still feel like I have five more years in me, so I’ll just keep saying that until I don’t have any more.”

Manning also reflected on the disappointing 2015 season. “It’s simple, you got to play better football,” Manning said. “I think we did some things better last year than we did the previous. Obviously, the record didn’t really show that. I think we were competitive in more games, and had a lot more opportunities to win games than the year before. We have to find ways to win those tight games, to win those close ones. That’s just a team, getting guys with great leadership, and great enthusiasm, and knowing what it takes to win those close ones, and having the confidence to go out there and make it happen.”

MALIK JACKSON EXPRESSES INTEREST IN THE GIANTS…
Denver Broncos defensive end/tackle Malik Jackson, who is currently scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in early March, was asked is he would consider playing for the Giants if they pursued him free agency.

“It’d be cool,’’ said the 26-year old Jackson. “Great market, great fans. If I did have an opportunity to go there, it would be cool to reunite with my boy Robert Ayers. I know Devon Kennard’s out there, too. If that was the case, it’d be dope. Hopefully me and the Broncos work something out, but if not, there’s definitely a chance that I’ll be looking for a new home. It’s a business, you got to do what you got to do.”

Jackson started 16 regular-season games for the Broncos in 2015, accruing 45 tackles, 5 sacks, and 7 pass defenses.
