Giants re-signed RB Andre Brown to a one-year, $2.02 million contract.
Brown was never a threat to demand anything more than the one-year tender he received as a restricted free agent. He'll play this year out as the short-yardage thunder to David Wilson's lightning and then hit unrestricted free agency. Brown burst onto the fantasy radar with eight touchdowns in 10 games before breaking his leg last season. He projects as a handcuff that will hold some standalone value in touchdown-heavy formats.

Andre Brown said Tuesday that his goal is to score 22 touchdowns this season.

Unsigned restricted free agent RB Andre Brown reported for the start of the offseason program Monday.
Per ProFootballTalk, Brown signed an injury protection agreement that allowed him to work out without a contract. His presence at the "voluntary" session is confirmation that his broken leg is fully healed and that he won't be making a stink about his one-year, $2.02M tender. Brown projects as the thunder to David Wilson's lightning in the Giants' backfield this season.

Giants RB Andre Brown has switched agents and is now represented by Drew Rosenhaus.
Brown will play out the 2013 season on his $2.02 million restricted free agent tender. But he'll be an unrestricted free agent in 2014, and will almost certainly be looking to sign with the highest bidder. Brown burst onto the scene last year with 385 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 games before breaking his leg.

Giants assigned restricted free agent RB Andre Brown a second-round tender.
Brown will be due $2.02 million once he signs on the dotted line. It's a fair price for a player expected to open the season as the Giants' short-yardage and goal-line back. In a perfect world for the G-Men, Brown would settle in as a complementary player as David Wilson puts a grip on feature duties.

The Giants reportedly intend to let Andre Brown "split carries" with David Wilson in their 2013 backfield.
Brown is a restricted free agent and the NY Daily News anticipates the Giants tendering him at the second-round level ($2.02 million). Brown definitely projects as a short-yardage pounder, although his 2013 workload will be dependent on Wilson's development. Wilson has talent to run away with the feature-back job.

Restricted free agent RB Andre Brown says he's preparing to be the Giants' starting running back.
Recovering from a broken leg, Brown doesn't sound worried about his health. "That's the dream job right there, to go out there and start and play for the New York Giants," Brown said. "I'm going to put as much work as I need to put in to prepare for that role, if it happens to be me, put that faith in them that they can rely on me." David Wilson is certainly the favorite to lead the Giants' backfield in touches next season, but Brown is much stronger in pass protection at this stage of the game, and should open the year as the goal-line back. He's going to have fantasy value if he can stay on the field.

The Giants are expected to bring back restricted free agent RB Andre Brown.
Before breaking his leg in Week 12, Brown was a revelation for the Giants. The physical power back averaged 5.27 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns in just 10 games. If the Giants give Brown an original-round one-year tender, the 2009 fourth-rounder would earn $1.323 million in 2013. A second-round tender would cost $2.023 million. If potential cap casualty Ahmad Bradshaw ends up sticking, expect a three-man committee that also features explosive prospect David Wilson.
