Free agent Brandon Jacobs was reportedly seeking only $2 million per year on a new deal with the Giants before his Friday release. The Giants would only offer $1.5 million annually with a chance to earn more through incentives. Jacobs indicated in a statement after the transaction that he has no plans to return to New York on a lesser deal. "It's been a good ride," he said. "Time to move on. I just want to thank them for the opportunity."
