The Facts: All day Monday, it seemed like everyone was talking about Manningham's clutch catch in the Giants' Super Bowl victory over the Patriots. Soon, though, fans will be talking about Manningham in the context of his impending free agency. "I wanna come back," Manningham said Monday in Times Square, according to ESPN. "I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm going to try to enjoy this Super Bowl (win). I'm not really thinking about that right now."
Diehards Line:The four-year player from Michigan had a handful of key catches in the postseason, including touchdowns against the Packers and 49ers. But his 38-yard over-the-shoulder fingertip catch of a perfect Eli Manning pass down the sideline will be best remembered, and it might help him earn quite a bit of money. "Eli threw a perfect ball that nobody could get but me," Manningham said. "It was either going to go out of bounds or I was gonna catch it. ..." Although David Tyree's big play in Super Bowl XLII didn't secure his future with the Giants, Manningham's situation is different; he's a vital option in the mix with starters Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz. The Giants will be looking to keep the group together.
