Morning Donut With The Giants: Big Blue Tuesday

Welcome to the Morning Donut with the New York Giants. Today there is a lot to talk about. We have a heaping helping of original content coming your way today. Before we tell you what is on our Giants football mind, we have to get into the top links about the Giants. It is the Morning Donut and it’s fresh out of the oven.

Report: Giants hope for Eli Manning extension in coming weeks Josh Apler (Pro Football Talk NBC Sports)

"Manning is set to make $17 million and count $19.25 million against the cap this season with the latter number likely to come down in any extension. That space could be used now, although there’s not much to spend it on, or carried over into the 2016 offseason."

With Eli Manning, Giants are as stable at quarterback as any team by Dan Graziano (ESPN)

"In the spring of 2014, Manning had ankle surgery and had to miss a little bit of on-field work during OTAs. That set him back a bit in terms of comfort in coordinator Ben McAdoo’s offense. Fully healthy this spring, Manning has been able to drill down on the nitty-gritty footwork elements of the offense that are critical to his success in it. He has worked with baseball coaches this offseason on ways to improve arm strength."

Was Lawrence Taylor the best ever to wear No. 56? by Dan Salomone (Giants.com)

"Of course, that was the number donned by Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who is often regarded as the best defensive player in the history of football after 13 game-changing seasons and two Super Bowl victories with Big Blue."

2015 New York Giants training camp dates released by Dan Graziano (ESPN)

"Visitors to camp this year should get to see quarterback Eli Manning working more comfortably with star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. as each enters his second year in Ben McAdoo’s offense. Visitors also will have their eyes on wide receiver Victor Cruz and his recovery from the knee injury that ended his 2014 season in Week 6. At this point, the Giants expect Cruz to be able to do some on-field work at some point early in camp, but they’re not sure when exactly he’ll be able to do that and how much."
