Brandon Jacobs says his departure from the Giants was a matter of chump change. “It was just money, that’s all it was, a couple hundred thousand [dollars],” Jacobs told Jim Rome in a radio interview this week.

The New Orleans Saints may be near a happy ending to a most unhappy offseason. Matt Triplett reports on NOLA.com that Drew Brees’ deal with the New Orleans Saints should be done within a week. Good.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano writes that RB DeMarco Murray will be a workhorse back for the Cowboys expected to carry the ball about 20 carries per game. Murray had five 20-carry games in 2011.

In a rare setback for the NFL, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees won his arbitration case against the league, and the win gives him added leverage against the New Orleans Saints.
