New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman made it clear he wants Eli Manning to remain the team's quarterback at a meeting between the two last week, sources told Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

While Gettleman did reaffirm his wishes to keep Manning with the club, he did tell the veteran pivot that the organization will still evaluate quarterbacks in the 2018 draft class.

Both described the meeting as positive, and Manning voiced his desire to remain in New York while also accepting the team will look for a potential successor in the draft.

Gettleman's vision of building up a strong offensive line to help Manning and the running game should certainly appeal to the veteran quarterback, as the Giants ranked 26th in the league in rushing offense last season.
