NFL suspended Giants linebacker Boley for personal conduct

Giants linebacker Michael Boley has been suspended by the league for the first game of the regular season. The reason for suspension is that Boley violated the league’s personal conduct policy.


Boley was arrested in May of 2008 and charged with battery on his wife after she accused him of becoming “too physical” after an argument. And the league said the suspension stems from that episode.

Boley spent the first four seasons of his career in Atlanta Falcons before he signed New York Giants. The episode happended when he was in the Falcons. He was never seen wearing saints jersey.

Boley is currently under recovery from a surgery on a torn labrum in his hip and is scheduled to take part in training camp midway.

Eli Manning is still waiting for a new contract

As it comes to the last year of Manning's rookie contract, Giants has not decided on his new contract. Manning has to wait a little longer than expected.

Manning and the Giants has not reached any agreement on the new deal, but no one is worrying about that. Both sides expect and beleive that a deal will eventually get done.

Manning is asking one of the most lucrative contract in NFL history, and the Giants know the price will be high, but they just do not want Manning to become and free agent and probably play for other teams even if he plays out his contract, they will just keep the Giants tag on him next March to prevent him from going other teams.

"Obviously we want him to spend the rest of his career here, and we'll reach an agreement in due time," Mara said. "But I can't guess when that will be."

Manning also said that he does not care about the time much since there is still 1 year left on his current contract. He is just waiting.
