Manning Family Likely to Shield Arch Manning From Jets, Francesa Claims
Jets are favored to land the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft after free agency, with Arch Manning as a top prospect. New OutKick piece reports Mike Francesa believes the Manning family will not let Arch play for the Jets, citing the Mannings’ history with Eli and a past Chargers-to-Giants trade influence; he says they’ll “manipulate the draft.” The column notes the Jets’ chaotic reputation and even suggests Arch could opt to return to college to avoid the Jets, while acknowledging Arch’s improving draft stock and the wider 2027 QB dialogue.
