A Newsday report regarding Eli Manning's contract "extension" Monday morning was incorrect. The Giants exercised an option that keeps him on the team through 2009.
The Giants say they simply exercised a "buyback" option that was expected the whole time. Manning did receive a $5 million bonus, and his base salaries for the next three seasons have been raised to $6 million (2007), $8 million (2008) and $8.5 million (2009).
