The New York Giants signed their starting running back Brandon Jacobs to a new 4-year deal worth $25 million on Wednesday.

“I was confident all along that this was going to get done I didn’t panic one bit,” Jacobs said in a statement. “I know the reason we did it the way we did; I knew I was going to be here. I was super-confident and I am here. I’m happy about it.”

Jacobs’ new deal includes $13 million in guarantees and he’s scheduled to earn $15 in just the first 2 years of the new contract.

“This team is full of young talent,” Jacobs said. “We brought some great talent in here the last two years and those guys are still learning and getting better. Our offensive line is great and will continue to be great. There are a lot of young guys on our team that are still playing great, great football. I’m looking for big things out of our football team next year.”

Now that the Giants have their running back postion figured out for the next few years, have they figured out what they’re going to do with Plaxico Burress yet? I could see Marvin Harrison end up in New York to help out Eli Manning after many years of being big brother Peyton’s #1 target.
