Giants signed RB Brandon Jacobs to a four-year, $25 million contract. The deal includes $15 million in the first two years.
While the guarantee ($13 million) is impressive, this isn't a market altering deal. Jacobs could've likely received more had he avoided the franchise tag, but he'll be able to re-enter free agency again at age 30 if he's not released in the meantime. The Giants were likely unwilling to go overboard because of his injury history and the fact he isn't an every-down player. But as a 264-pound bone crushing power back on the upswing of his career, he's indispensable. Assuming Jacobs stays healthy, he should set a personal high for carries in 2009 with Derrick Ward likely gone.

Not really anything related to the Pats just figured I would throw it out there in case anyone else missed it.
