Eli Manning's credentials are Hall of Fame-worthy, but unfortunately, they weren't good enough for him to get into Canton in his first year of eligibility.

Three of the 15 modern-era finalists made the Class of 2025: cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen, and tight end Antonio Gates. (Wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, the fourth member of the class, was a senior candidate after previously not getting in as a modern-era candidate.)

The New York Giants are exploring the sale of a minority stake in the team and Eli Manning has expressed interest in being a minority owner.

Eli Manning may not be done as a Giant just yet. The two-time Super Bowl MVP, who missed out on his first try for the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this month, said Friday he would have “interest” in being part of a group that purchased a stake in the Giants.
