While you can technically trademark a last name, or attempt to, the Mannings have not done that. Arch opting out would not keep EA from having the name Manning be in the game. There are other current players with the last name, and if they opt in, EA will have free use to have the name be a recorded line in the game. Even if they don't opt in, EA would have legal use to the last name.
