Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Giants had designated Jacobs as their franchise player on February 13, which would have guaranteed that Jacobs be paid $6,621,000 next season -- the average salary of the five highest-paid running backs in the league. However, both Jacobs and GM Jerry Reese expressed confidence at the time that the sides would come to agreement on a long-term deal. They were right. ... Jacobs just completed his fourth season with the Giants. He posted his second straight 1,000-yard season and rushed for 15 touchdowns. The 6-4, 265-pounder has averaged 5.0 yards per carry in his two seasons as a starter.
