Portrait » Eli Manning recognizes that the numbers in a playbook aren’t the

only important statistics.Manning wants children Mark Bavaro Jerseys 2019 , including his three daughters, to have a strong set of financial skills.“I think it’s so important for kids to understand what it means to save, to have a budget, to be smart about spending money,” the Giants’ 15th-year quarterback says. “I think the more you can introduce financial literacy to students at an early age, the more it’ll prevent them from making mistakes when they’re a young adult.”Manning and Giants rookie Saquon Barkley spoke to more than 100 local high school students about the importance of managing their finances before facing off in a head-to-head competition playing the latest version of Financial Football, a free video game designed to educate users on smart money decisions. Financial Football was created in a partnership between the NFL and Visa. The game challenges players to answer multiple choice and true or false questions to advance down the field in order to score a touchdown.With one in five teenagers in the United States lacking basic financial skills, Visa has teamed with 49 state governments and the District of Columbia to issue copies of the game to middle and high school students across the country.The free video game is available through iOS and Android apps and financialfootball.com.“It’s a fun interactive game for both adults and kids White Michael Strahan Jerseys ,” Manning says. “You get to play a game, but also answer questions and learn about your finances. It’s good for kids to start learning about the importance of financial literacy and to start saving their money.”“Involving football for the kids is a way for them to learn more interactively. Some of it is asking questions they might not know the answer to, but it might trigger their curiosity. It starts a conversation and I think it will help them down the line.”https://financialfootball.com/downloads Let’s get ready for Day 2 of the NFL shopping extravaganza"The New York Giants watched on Monday, the first day of the NFL free agency negotiating window, as prices around the league skyrocketed. Their only move of the day was to re-sign center/guard Spencer Pulley to a three-year, $9.6 million deal that turns out to look like the Giants went bargain-hunting at the dollar store.Will the Giants get on the scoreboard today?It’s going to cost if they doAs the salary cap continues to climb so, too, does what players are commanding on the free agent market.The safety market Michael Strahan Jerseys 2019 , a year after it was virtually non-existent, has exploded.Ex-Giant (at least when he can officially put pen to paper with the Washington Redskins) Landon Collins got the biggest safety contract ever at six years, $84 million with $45 million guaranteed. That set new safety marks for total value, annual value ($14 million) and guaranteed money.Tyrann Mathieu matched that annual value, getting three years, $42 million from the Kansas City Chiefs.Kareem Jackson got three years, $33 million with $23 million guaranteed. Eric Weddle looks like an absolute bargain for the Los Angeles Rams at two years, $10.5 million ($5.25 million per year).The offensive line market has also gone through the roof. If you can block White Will Hernandez Jerseys , or at least stand in front of someone and try, you get big money. How else do you explain Bobby Hart getting three years, $21 million from the Cincinnati Bengals? Mitch Morse got four years, $44.5 million from the Buffalo Bills, making him the league’s highest-paid center in terms of annual value. Perhaps more of interest to the Giants, right tackle Ju’Wuan James is receiving a four-year, $52 million deal from the Denver Broncos. At $13 million per year, that is the richest right tackle contract ever in terms of annual value.The market went nuts in other areas Will Hernandez Jerseys 2019 , too. Edge rusher Trey Flowers is reportedly getting a deal worth $16-17 million annually from the Detroit Lions. Linebacker Kwon Alexander is getting four years and $54 million, $13.5 million annually, from the San Francisco 49ers. Even pedestrian wide receiver Devin Funchess is getting a one-year, $13 million deal from the Indianapolis Colts.How are the Giants, with limited salary cap space and a desire to get better at right tackle and across the board on defense, going to reel in any fish in this market?The primary targets remain the sameDespite all the deals there were apparently agreed to on Monday none of the players believed to be the Giants’ primary free agent targets came off the board, with the possible exception of Anthony Barr landing with the free-spending New York Jets.We told you Monday that right tackle Daryl Williams, edge Markus Golden White Lorenzo Carter Jerseys , safety Adrian Amos and cornerback Bryce Callahan appeared to the Giants’ top targets at those positions.As we begin Day 2 of “legal tampering,” all of those free agents remain in play.Williams, drafted by Gettleman for the Carolina Panthers, remains an object of desire despite what will be an exorbitant cost.Golden was converted from defensive end to edge in Arizona by James Bettcher, and had a 12.5-sack season in 2016 before a knee injury derailed him. Amos is reportedly closing in on a deal with someone. Could that be the Giants? If it’s not, the safety market remains flush with less expensive options.Callahan is apparently seeking a deal worth $7-8 million annually. Can the Giants play in that ballpark for a cornerback?Day 2 of the NFL shopping season is here. Will the Giants be able to strike a deal, or two? Keep it here as we find out.
