According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, while appearing on Sirius XM NFL Radio, former New York Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer said that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is better than Eli Manning.

Wilson's speed and hands have been on display in offseason workouts but his pass protection and knowledge of the offense remain question marks. Ware on the other hand has experience in the Giants' system and has the trust of his...
