| Brandon Jacobs Says He Wants To Remain With The Giants | | | Sunday night, shortly after the Giants defeated the Patriots, running back Brandon Jacobs was asked by SNY’s Jonas Schwartz whether he wants to return for the 2012 season. “Oh no question. I wanted to come back before all of this stuff happened,” said Jacobs according to Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger, who completed his seventh season with the Giants. "I just hope there are some things that can be worked out. Now’s not the time to focus on that.” Those things are his roster bonus of $500,000 due next month and his base salary of $4.4 million, none of which is guaranteed. The $4.9-million total figure is a hefty tag for a No. 2 back, so Jacobs and the Giants both realize some money must be shuffled, whether in the form of an extension or a pay cut similar to the one he took this past season. “I just hope some things get worked out,” said the 29-year-old Jacobs, who had 571 yards in the regular season and 164 more in the playoffs. “I want to retire a Giant.” Source: The Redzone
