The Facts:
It appears Jacobs will not be getting the contract extension he desires before training camp opens on July 24. According to a league source familiar with negotiations between the two sides, the Giants have had several conversations with Jacobs' agents, but "nothing is close and nothing is expected to get done before camp starts."

According to Daily News staffer Ralph Vacchiano, negotiations are expected to continue, though and it's possible something could get done either later in training camp or during the season. So far there is no deadline on the talks and no apparent animosity between the two sides. They're just not particularly close to bridging the gap between what Jacobs wants and what the Giants are willing to give. Vacchiano went on to suggest the only thing that could hamper the future of the negotiations is if Jacobs gets hurt – something he did several times last year while playing in only 11 regular-season games. He missed three games with a sprained knee and another two with a hamstring injury. He also had offseason surgery on his left wrist.
