Old Flame Brandon Jacobs Among Those Being Worked Out By The Giants Tomorrow
Let me just clear up one thing – the Giants were going to be looking at adding a running back this week anyway. Veteran contracts aren’t guaranteed after Week 1, so whoever they ink beginning tomorrow can be cut whenever – that’s at least part of the reason no one’s been signed already. That being said, David Wilson has made the workouts of Willis McGahee (who had been scheduled since Friday), Joe McKnight and Brandon motherfucking Jacobs a MUCH bigger deal now.
Get Joe McKnight out of my face. Jets scraps are not an option. I’d like to think McGahee would be a solid veteran pickup, but we’re talking about a 32 year-old who put the ball on the ground 5 times in 10 games before his leg was destroyed. So wouldn’t it be something to see Brandon Jacobs & Big Blue come full circle? I’ll admit, seeing him come back with his tail between his legs would be a bit satisfying. And maybe he’ll run like the beast he was before he tasted success and all of a sudden thought he was Barry Sanders. I’m pretty sure all of football letting him watch games from home has proven him wrong. Or maybe he runs like the stiff, slow RB you’d expect a 31 year-old 6’4″ monster to be. Either way, if this reunion happens, Jacobs has everything to lose & the most to prove. Any hint of his unwarranted diva bullshit and he’s back on his couch. So if he works out well tomorrow, why the fuck not? At the very least, he’d take more attention away from Wilson than any other signing would while he cries it out and hopefully gets his shit together.
