Earlier, different reports indicated that Manningham was 75 per cent sure about leaving Giants. The report also said that Tampa Bay could be his next destination.
As per the latest development, Manningham is still contemplating different options, but he has asserted that so far he has not decided anything about moving to the Bucs.
He said:
"That is just (rumour). I haven't said anything like that or I haven't heard anything like that until the other day. I think everybody is saying that because our quarterback coach is going to be the offensive coordinator. People don't really know what is
going on, they don't know where I really want to go."
Manningham also denied giving odds for staying at Giants earlier and said that he never said there was a 25 per cent chance of playing with his present team in the next season.
Instead, he said that there was a 50 per cent of his move to any other team in the next season.
Manningham, who started his professional National Football League (NFL) career with Giants in 2008 after signing a four-year deal, will be able to move to any other team now as his contract is over.
If the Giants do not offer him a new contract, he will be free to join the team of his own choice.
The Giants have not yet confirmed if they are going to give Manningham a contract extension and the player himself has not given any clear word about the situation.
He said:
"We are not sure what is going on right now. We are going to take it slow and see what is going on and let the smoke clear a little bit, you know the Combine and free agency and everything coming up. Just never know where I am going to end up at."
Manningham’s recent remarks have implied that he could agree to terms with Giants if a lucrative deal is offered. However, nothing can be said with absolute authority as an official word is yet to come.
