The Giants have released Victor Cruz

And if you want a non gif answer.

No because we I don't see how useful he will be. With Richardson, Lockett and Angry Doug in the starting lineup

Assuming Lockett comes back first of all. Cruz would be the # 4. Possibly the #3. Certainly 3 if Lockett doesn't return to the same level of play.
I think Cruz's troubles started once OBJ joined the team. He needs to be away from thar atmosphere. He'll likely never be a #1 but if he gets healthy and in the right system he could fight to be a # 2.
Injuries are injuries. I don't think you base your case on his injuries? It's all about the amount of $ and length of contracr/incentives. It's also not a bad thing having 4 WRs that are similiar. It makes next man up that much easier when injuries do happen.

There's some talk that Atlanta may take a look as a 4th WR if they can get him cheap. Seems like they're still on the fence on Hardy and Robinson. Cruz would be smart to come if Atlanta beckons. Sanu and Gabriel had career years after coming from Cincy and Cleveland.

Probably but we need to spend some dollars and picks on Offensive line though

Oh that's definitely the Hawks # 1 priority. As well as a lot of teams.
I'm thinking in the right system Cruz will be a dominant slot guy. NE is fat on slot guys (assuming they bring Amendola back)? He'll need to redo his contract (AGAIN) if he wants to stay. I wish NE would pay him but they won't. He's a great team mate that showed uo every day, worked as hard as anyone, did whatever the coaches asked just didn't get a lot of action this year. He was huge in the SB
So if he does leave at least he has that along with a couple rings.

Salary Dump nothing more than that... He'll be picked up

If he's going to sign on the cheap he may as well do it in NY. No reason to leave really, just take the pay cut and stay in the system you know.

Now if some team comes calling with more money, take it.......but if I were Cruz I'd try to keep as many friends in the NY front office as possible just in case.

They have the money for it... No?

Good question.

59 million in space.

I thought they had more... Then again they made those moves earlier

Really? I don't see him as any better than a #4 behind at least Robinson, Hurns and Lee, if not Greene eventually as well.
