The New York Giants and the team's two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Eli Manning, have settled claims by three sports memorabilia collectors that they were victims of fraud in connection with supposedly “game-worn” equipment.

On the eve of a scheduled trial in Bergen County Superior Court, the settlement, whose terms are confidential, was reached, ending four years of litigation.

“The compromise agreement, entered into by all parties, should not be viewed as supporting any allegations, claims or defenses,” said a statement issued by a public relations firm retained by the parties. ”All parties are grateful to have the matter, which began in 2014, concluded and are now focused on football, the fans and the future.”

The lawsuit was first filed in 2014. Plaintiffs Eric Inselberg, Michael Jakab and Sean Godown alleged that the Giants provided two helmets supposedly worn by Manning during a game that were never actually worn.

Manning, accused of complicity in a scheme to pass off ordinary equipment items as game-worn, and the Giants denied the allegations.
