Manning Said to Put Together Bid for New York Giants Stake (1)

Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is putting together an investment group to bid for a piece of the National Football League team, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

In February, the New York Giants announced the Mara and Tisch families had retained Moelis & Co. to explore the potential sale of a minority, non-controlling stake in the New York Giants.

Manning, who led the team to two Super Bowl victories, including its last in 2012, has spoken to investors including retired NFL players, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.
