Giants Tag Jacobs As Franchise Player

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) ― Massive running back Brandon Jacobs has been designated by the New York Giants as their franchise player.

The 264-pound Jacobs led the team in rushing last season with 1,089 yards on 219 carries for a 5.0 average. He also led the team with 15 touchdowns rushing.

As a franchise player, he is guaranteed $6.6 million. If another team signs him, the Giants can match or will get two first-round draft picks in return.

The Giants' other 1,000-yard back, Derrick Ward, also is an unrestricted free agent.
