Six months after restructuring his contract to avoid being released, Brandon Jacobs is willing to restructure his contract to remain with the New York Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports. "Like I said the last time: As long as it’s fair," Jacobs said on Monday. "There’s something that can be done. I do put a lot of hard work and dedication into what I do as well. But as long as it’s fair, things can happen." Though he's behind Ahmad Bradshaw on the depth chart, Jacobs had nearly the same number of carries (171-to-152), rushing yards (659-to-571), yards per carry (3.9-to-3.8) and his seven touchdowns were two less than Bradshaw's nine during the 2011 season, though Bradshaw did miss four games with a foot injury. Jacobs turns 30 in July and is scheduled to earn $5 million in 2012, including a $4.4 million base salary and a $500,000 roster bonus that comes due on the fifth day of the 2012 league year (March 17). Releasing Jacobs would clear $5 million off the Giants' 2012 cap.
