<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2224/brandon-jacobs">Brandon
Jacobs</a> made it clear to the Giants he wants to return for one more season.
The only question is: How far is he willing to go to make that happen?


The two sides met over the weekend at the NFL scouting combine, but
according to a source familiar with the conversations they did not come close to
any kind of agreement. That’s because the Giants only want the 29-year-old
running back at a greatly reduced salary, the source said, and it’s not clear
how much of a cut Jacobs is willing to take.</p>

"I think the tight end class is a bad class. And that’s not good, given
(Rob) Gronkowski and (Aaron) Hernandez and what we’ve seen in the NFL.
Everybody’s looking for that next guy. I don’t have a first-round grade in the
tight end class. I’ve got three second-round grades and then I’ve got kind of an
abyss."</p>
