Pure speculation on my part but you can't argue the fit. He wants to come back for a year and STL really doesn't seem like a fit. His style is nearly identical to that of Tiki. I seems like a great 1 year stop gap for the Giants if they draft a RB in the 2nd-3rd round. Faluk would make a great mentor to a couple of young RB's, he'd be an instant leader in the locker room and POSSIBLY a decent contributor on the field.
It makes sense for Marshal too because the G-men have to be considered a legitimate threat to make the playoffs and as recent history shows, it's anyone's game at that point.
All that being said, I can't see the Giants' brass making this happen. They brought back a coach who has zero respect from his players after all.

When next season begins, he will have not played in a game for about 20 months and will be 34 1/2 years old, with a recent history of knee problems. And he doesn't appear to have been keeping himself in shape, either. Roster spots are too precious to NFL teams to waste one, and it is just hard for me to imagine him being worth it to any team.
I'm not saying I'd expect to see him come back and put up 02/ 03 numbers. He has only been out of football for 1 season. In 05 he had 65 carries and 44 receptions. He would still be a legitimate receiveing threat out of the back field ad a good change of pace for a pure power runner like Jacobs.

"Productive" is relative to expectations. He's not a guy who will ever find his way on to a fantasy roster again but he could be a good situational/ 3rd down back.
