Giants Tag Jacobs

The New York Giants place the franchise tag on Running Back Brandon Jacobs. Jacobs will be playing for the Giants next season making $6.6 million, unless a team thinks Jacobs is worth two first round draft selections. In other fantasy related news this means that Derrick Ward’s on his way out of New York. Ward could possibly cut into another runningback’s work load next season, while Jacobs will get the better half over teammate Ahmad Bradshaw. Both the Giants and Brandon Jacobs are both optimistic that a long term deal can be hammered out, although with Jacobs smashmouth running style he might not get the years he is looking for.
