Running back Ahmad Bradshaw has re-signed with the New York Giants, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Monday.

The Giants had been clearing cap space to make an offer to their leading rusher.

The 25-year-old Bradshaw finished last season with 1,235 yards and eight touchdowns in his first season as the New York Giants’ lead running back.

Coming into 2010 training camp, no one really expected Bradshaw to be the Giants’ starter.Brandon Jacobs had been the No. 1 running back since Tiki Barber retired after the 2006 season and there was no reason to expect a change.

Jacobs rushed for 823 yards and nine touchdowns despite seeing significantly fewer touches than Bradshaw. Jacobs was scheduled to earn $4.65 million in 2011 and $4.9 million in 2012, but the Giants reworked his contract last week.

If there is a concern about the 5-foot-9 Bradshaw it’s how long his feet and ankles hold out. He went into last season with 253 carries since being drafted in the seventh round out of Marshall in 2007. He carried the ball 276 times last season.

Bradshaw had surgery on his left ankle in February. He underwent the same surgery to his right ankle in addition to surgeries on both of his feet in 2010.
