Victor Cruz, Giants differ on compensation
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (12:42 pm ET) Giants receiver Victor Cruz is looking to sign a long-term contract, and he reportedly wants to be paid at least $10 million per year. The Giants don't feel that Cruz is worth that much and would pay him more than $7 million per year. The New York Post reports that it is believed the Giants are offering $12-15 million in guaranteed money, and Cruz is seeking $15-18 million in guaranteed money. If Cruz did not sign the restricted free agent tender offer he was given he could have held out of training camp with no repercussions, as the Giants could not fine him because he would not have had a contract. That leverage is now gone for Cruz, who would incur fines of $30,000 for every day he held out of training camp.

Cruz signs RFA tender
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (6/17/13) Victor Cruz has signed his restricted free agent tender, ESPN was first to report, meaning he's locked into a one-year deal worth nearly $2.9 million. The New York Daily News doesn't believe Cruz will hold out from training camp but has learned that Cruz is looking for a long-term contract estimated at $9 million per year.

Cruz not expected at minicamp
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (6/11/13) NFL.com reports that Giants receiver Victor Cruz is unlikely to attend the team's mandatory minicamp this week. The report says contract talks with Cruz and the Giants are "moving incredibly slowly," and Cruz won't show up without a deal in place. Cruz is a restricted free agent, and he has yet to sign his tender offer of $2.879 million. He is not subject to being fined since he's not technically under contract. The New York Daily News reports that fellow Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks spoke to Cruz prior to the start of Tuesday's minicamp. "He's doing good," Nicks said. "His mind is in the right spot. So he understands the business side of it. He understands the game as well. He still loves his team. He still wants to be here."

Cruz should get contract done soon
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (6/5/13) The New York Daily News reports that Giants receiver Victor Cruz is eventually going to sign a contract. The report says the reality is big contracts rarely get done until there’s a deadline — such as June 17 when the Giants can reduce Cruz’s tender offer from $2.879 million to $630,000. There remains optimism on both sides that a deal will eventually be reached, and it’s a pretty good bet that he’ll either have a new contract or sign his tender by then.

Giants remain confident with Cruz
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (5/21/13) USA Today reports that Giants chairman Steve Tisch remains confident a deal with receiver Victor Cruz is coming soon. "We're talking. (Cruz's agent) Tom Condon is talking to (Giants general manager) Jerry (Reese) and I'm personally confident that Victor wants to be a Giant, will be a Giant," Tisch said. "He's a great guy. It's just taking its time." The report says Cruz and the Giants have made some progress but a deal isn't imminent, despite a report from the New York Post stating the sides were at the "2-yard line." At this point, it seems they're barely in the red zone, but things could change as the spring winds down. Cruz has yet to sign the tender he was extended as a restricted free agent that would pay him $2.879 million. The Giants could lower the rate to $630,000 if Cruz hasn't signed by June 17, but that might only strain the negotiations.
