He is retiring at the end of the season right? Not at the current time? I have always Liked Tiki and Ronde Barber,Both Good guys.Tiki' has had a very solid career in New York.This comes as a surprise though.I think he very easily still has a solid 2-3 years left in him.......

Giants have the remainder of the season and Brandon Jacobs.

Tiki Barber made it known years ago that he would only play for so long.

No offense, but its kind of a non-issue...

Yeah, sorry...at the end of the season. No link yet on ESPN, but they featured it at the 10:30 Sportscenter cast.

yeah they'll be getting 1 in the draft..maybe Lynch if he gets to them. im thinking Kenny Irons for them though

better news for us..they might take a RB in round 1 over a DB

its a shame though..hes only 31 and hasnt been featured back all his career. great guy..i've worked out with him in new jersey..class act great player

They won't draft a RB in the first couple rounds, Brandon Jacobs will be just fine.

This could mean Brandon Jacobs will play a bigger role in the future. I think that guy could be awesome. He really is a freak of nature and it's a constant struggle to bring him down. I think he is the heir apparent and the Giants just need another guy for depth.

click on dale and holley then on the peter king interview on the 20th. Peter goes into great detail about this as he and Tiki are good friends.

you might be right but a guy like Garrett Wolfe or some other speedster as a change of pace will definatley be brought in by round 2 or 3

They will more than ok with Brandon Jacobs. It seems like every time he get's a chance he shines.
