Excerpt: "Good morning, New York Giants (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-york-giants)
fans! Here are your Saturday morning news and notes, including more information
about the release of running back <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2224/brandon-jacobs">Brandon
Jacobs</a>.

release Brandon Jacobs as sides are unable to reach agreement |

Someone informed of the talks between the sides said the Giants
wanted to slash Jacobs’ total compensation for this upcoming season from $5
million to $1.5 million with the chance to earn more through incentives. The

Vinny Curry and Chandler Jones were two guys I had as sleepers back in November and they've really made the rise up the board.

Chandler Jones fits the Giants ideal mold. This kid essentially has JPP's frame but has slightly longer arms. I really like Chandler Jones, and wouldn't mind if we drafted him. We could probably trade back a little and pick up a later pick and still get him.

Hmmmm. I really like Chandler Jones. So I prefer articles of NYG interest in another undersized DE so Eagles trade up for him instead.
