The Facts:
In an attempt to free up salary-cap space as they try to retain Ahmad Bradshaw, the Giants have asked his backfield mate Jacobs to restructure his contract, according to someone informed of the talks between the two sides. The person, who requested anonymity, did not provide specifics of the offer but said Jacobs is open to the idea of exploring the restructuring.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jacobs, who was slated to earn a base salary of $4.65 million this season, is coming off a season in which he rushed for 5.4 yards per carry - the second-highest among players with 130 attempts or more - and produced well late in the season. Despite the belief his bruising running style would cause his body to wear down at some point, even HC Tom Coughlin believes Jacobs could handle a bigger workload this upcoming season.
