Manning doesn’t have dollar signs in his eyes

Eli Manning isn’t concerned about keeping up with fellow quarterbacks Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers, except on the field.

Manning is due to receive $17 million this season from the New York Giants, with Wilson getting $21.9 million in a new deal he signed this week with the Seattle Seahawks, and the Green Bay Packers will play Rodgers $22 million.

“No, I’m not into the comparison about how much money you’re making,” Manning told Zach Braziller of the New York Post on Friday “That’s not my concern.

“Right now, my concern is getting on this practice field for our first practice. I’m excited about that and just let the business side of it just work itself out.”

Manning wants to get the Giants’ offense back in gear after they finished with a disappointing 6-10 record last season.

New York finished under .500 for the second year in a row, missing the playoffs for a third year in a row and for the fifth time in the last six seasons.

“Our goal is to try to get 27 to 30 points per game,” said Manning, who was voted Most Valuable Player in the Super Bowl when he led the Giants to the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2007 and 2011.

Manning, who said he hopes to complete 70 percent of his passes this season after finishing at 63.1 in 2014, might have a new contract by then and would have to get a five-year, $105 million deal to match Rodgers.

Should be get more, he would become the highest-paid player in NFL history.

At least until the next star quarterback is due for a new contract.
