The Facts:
Manning has agreed to a new six-year, $97 million contract extension with the Giants that will make him among the highest-paid players in the NFL with an average salary of roughly $15.3 million, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. There is a chance the deal could be signed Wednesday, but both sides wanted to review the contract, The Associated Press reported.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This deal will give Manning an average salary that is roughly $200,000 higher than the one earned by All-Pro cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha of the Oakland Raiders. He agreed to a three-year, $45.3 million contract this year. The salary obviously also is higher than that earned by Manning's big brother, Peyton. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback earns an average of $14.17 million annually.
