The Facts: Jacobs has elected to retire from the NFL after nine seasons in the league. Jacobs announced his decision on Twitter. “After 9 years in this whirlwind business they call the NFL, I am proud to announce that I am hanging up my cleats. I’ve had an amazing run and I appreciate all of the support from the fans through the good and the bad,” Jacobs said in a statement.

Diehards Line: Jacobs said earlier this week he was interested in continuing his career but only with the New York Giants. He was placed on injured reserve in December. Jacobs finishes his career 5,094 yards and 60 touchdowns in eight seasons with the Giants and one forgettable season with the San Francisco 49ers. Jacobs returned to the Giants this season amid a myriad on injuries at running back for New York and rushed for 238 yards and four touchdowns in seven games played.
