The draft of the NFL 2025 is less than a month old, and some in the world of football are already focusing on the perspectives of next year, in particular the quarter-Arrière of Texas Arch Manning.
Son of Cooper Manning and Neveu by Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch should finally start for the Longhorns after Quinn Ewers entered the 2025 draft class. Arch was seated behind the former signator of the Ohio State Buckeyes in the last two seasons.
While many hope to see Arch tearing its university schedule next year, an initiate of the NFL says that it is not a fatality conclusion that Manning will go in 2026.

Adam Schefter of ESPN made an appearance on “Get Up” on Thursday and warned the NFL teams and the fans do not hold too much hope that arch will be available this time.
“First of all, there is no guarantee that Arch Manning will be released after next year,” said Schefter, via the New York Post. “It seems that he could certainly stay beyond next year.

“I am not an initiate of university football, but none of the Mannings never got out early, and I do not know, with Nile Money being what it is, why would Arch do that? So, all this conversation on Tanking for Arch next year, he could be in the draft in 2027, not even next year.”

But what’s going on if Arch does not have an excellent season? And given what his uncle has done with the loaders of San Diego, essentially forcing a job to the New York giants, maybe Ark may not like the teams who try to “tank for Arch”, suggested Schefter.
There are a lot of If which will become clearer later this year when Arch takes care of the offensive of Steve Sarkisian.
In 10 appearances last season, including two departures due to the injuries of Ewers, Manning launched 939 yards with nine affected and two interceptions. He also ran for 108 yards in 25 races with four affected on the ground.

Arch is estimated at 6.6 million dollars in zero money, according to ON3. So, as Schefter mentioned, he does not have to jump to the pros to be paid.
