[IMG]http://blog.nj.com/giants_impact/2009/02/medium_bj.jpg[/IMG]Andrew Mill/The Star-LedgerThe Giants locked up running back Brandon Jacobs on a multi-year deal Wednesday, according to Jacobs' agent.
Schulman declined to provide specifics, but someone familiar with the contract said the contract includes $13 million guaranteed and Jacobs will be paid $15 million in the first two years of the deal.
"I was confident all along that this was going to get done - I didn't panic one bit," Jacobs said in the Giants' press release. "I know the reason we did it the way we did; I knew I was going to be here. I was super-confident and I am here. I'm happy about it.

Who cares??

He was franchised anyway, so regardless he was going to be Giant next year.

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

yea for real thanks for the groundbreaking news.....

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Isn't there a Giant site you could have posted this on?

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Meh, I dont care. BUt.....yeah never mind

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

a little hostile maybe?

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

If I was a mod this would be locked. It's news but could have been posted in a existing thread. certainly not worthy of a Warpath thread of its own. IMO

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

blah blah blah. He'll have his standard mid-season injury and w/o Ward the G-Men will grind to a halt on offense. If Jacobs is injured even more than usual I'll bet NY doesn't make the playoffs this year... yeah it's February and I said it.

good thing you arent a mod then

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

How is this not news? Something doesn't have to be Earth shattering to still be thread worthy, that's not the standard. If it was, Samuels restructures wouldn't be thread worthy either since we knew that was coming too.

If you guys don't care about this thread then don't post in it. And 44, you're my boy, but didn't you just start the 800 billionth Redskins youtube thread?

Well its better then the repeated should we draft this guy or that guy threads that get started everyday. He is in our divsion and someone we will have to contend with at least once a year when he is not hurt.

Yea it is. Glad the Giants kept their franchise player. Guess you did'nt see that coming. Anyway sorry for my opinion.

dj, your my boy. I said it [B]was news [/B]in my post. I just did'nt see the need for a G-Boy to make a thread about it here. I just suggested it be posted in a existing thread as much of the Redskins news is. Glad the Giants kept their franchise player. did'nt see that was coming!

Sorry about the Redskins youtube thread. And apologize for disrespecting Giantone thread.

Ill go post Redskins news over in the Giants forum and see how many friends I can make:smashfrea

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Before anyone starts a Suggs thread, he is going to play for the Ravens next year since he was FRANCHISED....

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Man I was really worried. I guess I can relax now. :pffff:

Great, now Sandtrap or any of the Cowpokes who post on this website can start a thread when Ray Lewis get signed, and maybe Phillyfan can start a thread about McNabb throwing another one of his teammate under the bus. :doh:

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Sounds like a good deal for him and the team.

What's up with the thread police lately? Let the mods handle it. I don't see anything wrong with this thread and not every piece of news needs to be buried in one giant thread.

Thank you and good morning to all.

I personally don't think this was the issue, however having someone (who's a fan of another team) create a thread on a piece of news that wasn't that surprising was. Especially since this thread was created just for the hell of it and to probably piss off the rest of us. But you're the mod and I'm not so I respect your comment.

I agree 100% Ruhskins. With all our team frustrations, it did kind of piss me off. And I never requested a mod to shut it down. I was simply expressing my frustration and said if I was a mod I would lock it. Right now I wan't to hear about the good fortune of the Skins not the Giants or Dallas ect... I can read about the resigning of Jacobs anywhere at a later time. Plus who here really did'nt know that was coming.

I like Giantone, we have joked back and forth many times. The guy called me a closet Eagles fan here on our board and I played along. But I just felt this was a unnecessary thread with the wrong intentions.

Maybe Giantone was so excited he could'nt help himself. But if he thought we would enjoy the news there is a thread called "Redskins fans you might like this"

Anyway I have no choice but to respect Matty's take on it. But he knows how much I hate the Giants.

Re: Giants sign Brandon Jacobs ...........
 

Maybe i can explain things .Yes on the Giant boards I'm on we have discussions with Redskin fans about Redskin players and about other teams players also and signings so I didn't think it was that big of a deal.Being a member of the NFC East I did think it was news worthy that the Giants sign their franchised player early instead of letting things go as they have done in the past.Many a time there is a thread about an Eagle ,Giant or Cowboy on these boards.On the Giants boards right now there is discussion about Haynsworth and the Redskins..................a move like that will impact the NFC East one way or another, so yup it's news worthy.
