Brandon Jacobs
Two days before the start of NFL free agency, the New York Giants have ensured that running back Brandon Jacobs isn't going anywhere.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting that the Giants signed Jacobs to a four-year, $25 million deal. The contract guarantees Jacobs at least $13 million, and the contract is structured so that he'll get paid $15 million in the first two years.

The 6-foot-4, 264-pound Jacobs has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, establishing himself as one of the most powerful ball carriers in the league. At age 26, there's a good chance that Jacobs could remain effective for the duration of the contract, meaning this deal is very good news for Giants fans.
