Ahmad Bradshaw Prefers Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward Not Return Next Year

Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward are in a unique situation. They are the oh-so-rare triple headed, running back combo that actually succeeds all the way around. Brandon Jacobs is the "feature" back, but he wouldn't have as much success were it not for his teammates in the trio known as "Earth, Wind and Fire".

That's what makes Bradshaw's comments to Michael Strahan in a Fox interview so interesting. Via PFT, Strahan asked Bradshaw whether he wanted Ward and Jacobs -- both of whom will be free agents -- come back to New York next year. His answer was pretty straightforward.
No.
Apparently, Bradshaw was laughing a little bit when he answered Strahan, but there's a significant amount of truth to what he's saying whether he wants to admit it or not. As long as Jacobs and Ward are with the New York Giants, it's going to be increasingly difficult for Bradshaw to increase his net worth as a football player.

So, at least in the interest of self-improvement, it's not a terribly horrible thing for Bradshaw to wish for; it just seems like there's a better time than, oh, right before a playoff game to answer that truthfully.
