The Facts: Manning will no longer have a potentially serious legal issue hanging over his head. Manning has settled the memorabilia fraud lawsuit that had been scheduled to begin today, a league source tells PFT.

Diehards Line: The Giants subsequently confirmed the report. ... This after the a last minute delay of the trial because of a death in the family of one of the attorneys. Manning was accused of fraudulently passing off memorabilia as game-worn even though he hadn’t worn it in a game. At the center of the dispute were messages from Manning to a team equipment manager asking for helmets “that can pass as game used.” The plaintiffs said they were duped by Manning into paying for “game-used” items that weren’t actually used in games. Now that issue will not go before a jury, and Manning has put it behind him.
