I saw this article today and I know the story is going to pick up steam as Ahmad Bradshaw will surely be courted by other teams, even though the Giants told him that re-signing their starting running back was a "top priority." It's really hard to imagine that they will have the cash to re-sign Bradshaw at the payday he's going to deserve, while also paying Brandon Jacobs $4.65 million in 2011.

So I want to know -- what would you do if you were Jerry Reese? Would you do everything you possibly could under the cap (if there is one) and give Bradshaw the money he deserves and continue to have him split carries with Jacobs? Would you try to trade Jacobs (who, you might remember, is a bitter, bitter man) if you can unload his salary? Or would you let Bradshaw, a terrific player but one that is prone to injury and fumble-itis, walk?

I'm glad I'm not the GM of this team, but I think at the end of the day, I'd still like to have both of these guys, so I would do what I could to make that happen.

Gentlemen, what do you think? (And this is Mike, by the way, not Ed).
