The Giants have reportedly reached a four-year deal with Brandon Jacobs. Far be it for me to call $25 million a small amount, but in NFL terms, I'm really surprised at how low this amount looks. At just over $6 million per year on average, this contract won't cripple the Giants' salary cap, and Jacobs was the one guy they had to keep.Jacobs runs hard (he is, after all, a Juggernaut), and running backs of his punishing style don't normally last long, but this is a deal that is fair for both the Giants and Jacobs.
With the Giants' superb offensive line also returning intact for 2009, I expect big things next season. Now, they just need that field-stretching receiver to keep defenses from crowding the line of scrimmage the way they were able to do towards the end of last year.
