New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning says that he's not concerned about the status of his contract extension.

Manning is entering the final year of a six-year, $97.5 million extension signed prior to the 2009 season. According to NJ.com, Manning said on Sunday that "nothing has been brought up" concerning the potential extension.

Manning, who was preparing to walk in the March of Dimes' March for Babies with his daughter Ava, reportedly added, "I haven't made a big deal about it."

That has consistently been the 34-year-old's stance. In December, he was quoted in the New York Post as taking the same approach.

"If the Giants want to discuss it, we'll discuss it, but it's not a focus of mine," Manning said as the Giants cleaned out their lockers, according to the report. "I've never been real worried about contract stuff. I let all that just handle itself."

Manning reportedly added on Sunday that he would not be insulted if he did not get an extension prior to the season, pointing out his brother Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning played in the final year of his contract before.

"[The contract] is not something I'm going to argue about or make a fuss about," Manning said Sunday, according to NJ.com.

Manning added he would not be insulted if he did not get a contract extension with the Giants before this season, noting his brother Peyton played on the final year of his contract before. Eli Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, has spent his entire 11-year career with the Giants.
