1. G-men don't want to tip their hands going into the draft
2. He and Eli have discussed conditions upon which Eli would remain with the team (I would guess a salary cut is part of it), but Eli needs to think about it.
I can think of a couple of reasons

Don't they tip their hand in March with that guaranteed money?

I seriously doubt Eli would discuss a pay cut......
I don't understand all of the speculation surrounding parting ways with a player that has performed on the field a year into a massive contract. While I felt that the media was a little too eager to make it happen last year, the speculation itself at least made sense. It doesn't make any sense this time around.
After the draft last year, I will take everything he says at face value, because he had the worst poker face ever. So if he says we’re going OL this year, get ready for OL. If he says there are some dominant DEs, we’re picking a DE. He is flat out incapable of hiding his intentions; supposedly, he was awful at doing that in Carolina as well. If you want a QB - as I do - you better hope he says I think this is a strong QB class. Sure, it will cause us to get leapfrogged, but at least you know he’s looking to get a QB.
What a joke of a front office we have.

No one on this earth knows who we're taking yet. The off season just started. Senior bowl, combine, interviews etc. have not occurred. How can anyone pretend to know what we're going to do in this draft.
And what was wrong with our draft from last year? If you're answer is we didn't take a qb, i'd argue this team took the best player who was by all accounts a can't miss, virtually clean prospect. I'd also remind you this organization had built a bit of a reputation as missing on first rounders, and so picking a sure fire guy just made more logical sense than picking the remaining guys.
That is not coming from a Saquon day 1 guy. I wanted a quarterback as well. I wanted Baker. O well. He has had one draft and it went very well for us. I think criticism of that is dumb. Free agent signings? Definitely some misses.

Why would Eli not discuss a paycut? It simply converts salary to guaranteed money and puts the prospect of future income on the table by extending his contract. It would likely net him more money.
Because he doesn't have to discuss it, I'd guess. Â

I am sure there are other reasons
yeah, he pretty told anyone who would listen he was drafting Barkley
Agreed, plus this was the same situation last year (picking top 10) and DG was all in then.

And you better believe, he has a couple of aces up his sleeve.
As they used to say in the old west, "nothing wild but the players"!

He's done it once before. And it wasn't exactly significant. I wouldn't expect any windfalls for the team out of Eli's charitable heart.
