New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning said Tuesday he can't envision himself playing for another team as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches.

"I haven't thought about a trade scenario," Manning told WFAN's Mike Francesa. "This organization is the only team I've ever played for and the only thing I know. I love the New York Giants. It's hard to imagine being with another organization."

Manning, who holds a no-trade clause, has come under scrutiny for a second straight season while the team continues to struggle. The 37-year-old has spent his entire career with the Giants, and he made it known that's where he hopes to finish it.

"Right now, that's the mindset," he said. "I have not thought about (a trade). My focus is trying to get a win for the Giants and get prepared for the next game and see if we can turn things around and give ourselves an opportunity."

Manning has thrown seven touchdowns against four interceptions this season. New York has floundered to a 1-6 record, a year after going 3-13.

New York appears ready for a rebuild, as it traded cornerback Eli Apple on Tuesday and defensive tackle Damon Harrison on Wednesday morning.
