Eli Manning is returning to the New York Giants in a business operations and fan engagement role. He also will work on original content development, which includes a new lifestyle series that premieres this fall.

The 40-year-old retired after the 2019 season following a franchise-record 16 seasons as Giants quarterback.

"I'm willing to do anything. But I'm focused on the business side with corporate partners and on community relations, which was always so important to me while I was playing here and is something I've placed a high priority on throughout my life," Manning said. "I'm looking forward to seeing where I can make the most impact in helping the Giants achieve their business and community goals."
