Brandon Jacobs has officially left the New York Giants to join the San Francisco 49ers.
According to Adam Schefter via Twitter, the power back has taken his ability across the country and into the Bay Area.
Details haven't been made available yet for the contract.
This leaves the Giants unprotected now if Ahmad Bradshaw gets hurt. Bradshaw has had more than 175 carries just once in his career, and has suffered several foot and ankle injuries.
Jacobs also brought a toughness down near the goal line that will be sorely missed. His attitude sometimes outweighed his production, but Jacobs was definitely an asset at times.
With the name running backs mostly signed at this point, New York may be looking at the draft to replenish the position. The Giants also have D.J. Ware and Da'Rel Scott as potential replacements for Jacobs.
