Could the Gmen franchise tag Jacobs this offseason? (1 Viewer)

Not an NFL contract guru by any means.

No one.....

They could. They haven't used it much in the past but at 6.5 million, it'd be worth it over losing him. That said i think a deal gets done for around the same as Marion Barber got. He's a vital part of that offense even more than just the pure numbers and i'm sure the giants realize that.

Thanks, though Ward will be let go because he is a RFA and he could get a starting gig somewhere

They could, and depending on their cap situation I think they'd be wise to do so. I'm not sure a long term contract to this guy would be a wise decision.

IIRC, Ward was an UFA last offseason. He turned down the Giant's offer, shopped around, found nothing better, then signed a new 1 year contract (which was less than the first one) with the Giants. .I think Ward would have better offers this year.

I think if they do it will be because they want to try to find a trade partner and not let him go without getting anything in return. If Jacobs really wants to cash in, I think it will be with another team. The Giants will be solid at RB with a corps of Ward, Bradshaw and Ware, all of whom combined will cost less than Jacobs alone. I like Jacobs, but IMO I would rather see the team go with Ward, Bradshaw and Ware at RB and spend Jacob's money elsewhere.

You are correct.

You are correct.

Ward doesn't the mileage, but he is too old to be attractive in a starting role around the NFL.

I don't know. I could see an established team signing him. Not really all that different than the Jets bringing in Thomas Jones to start. Ward isn't that old, and he has proven himself.

In fact, the Giants have never used the franchise tag, and I seriously doubt that they will start now. Accorsi hated the rule.
