Reese’s pieces. Giants are stacked and young at WR.

Besides Mannin and JPP, no other Giant holds more value to the team than Cruz, yes I said it! we can replace Nicks but we won’t find another Cruz. However, I rather we keep both because I love having Nicks on this team so Reese don’t break up the trio!

Last year Cruz finished the season with 1536 receiving yards 18.7 yards per reception and 9 TDs. Those are number one numbers. This year is more of the same. Just watching how he breaks down secondaries shows he’s a number one. As a Redskins fan I was more worried about Cruz ending a close game with one of his patented 70+ yards reception than any other receiver on the Giants.

@rockyburnette

You cannot tag every player as “#1″ or “#2″. Both Nicks and Cruz play different and equally vital roles on the team. Consider them #1A and #1B. If you think Cruz is the kind of “complementary” player that the Giants can let go of, you have no idea what youre talking about. Cruz is not Andre Roberts or the typical “#2″ WR.

“PAY DA MAN” ….. Cruz is the #1 receiver for 2 reasons !!! #1 he is Eli’s favorite and most reliable receiver and #2 nicks just can’t stay healthy and I love him to death but he is always dealing with some kind of ailment !!!!

@rocky – I disagree. The Giants are the rare team that has two No. 1s. It’s impossible to say one is more valuable than the other. When Nicks isn’t playing (which is fairly often), you barely notice a dip in Cruz’ production. Due to the Giants’ talent at WR and DE, I can foresee Reese spending on these areas and then patching the rest of the team with glue kind of like how the Colts did with Wayne, Harrison and their D-Line (while neglecting the rest of the team).

You can compare Wallace with Cruz there not on the same Level, Cruz is a superstar and Wallace I dont know what he is.

Jerry Reese isn’t stupid (and his roster depth proves that). Cruz will be taken care of, as will JPP.

Paying the man is tricky. Nicks is the Giants’ #1 WR. I doubt Cruz will accept #2 WR money. Working with Eli, with Nicks on the field drawing doubles, Cruz is a killer. Love him, but if he holds out for #1 WR money he will likely be playing elsewhere.

If the Giants don’t make him an offer before the end of the season and Cruz makes it through without injury (fingers crossed!), I hope Cruz rakes the Giants over a BARREL for making him risk likely $70M or so this season!

This coming from a Giants’ fan.

They should definently pay him. A Suzy would gave nursed his knee after Carlos Rogers flipped him like the tool that he is. The guy is tough, he has an amazing feel for soft spots in zones, and he can get open against just about anybody. The fact that hes the 4th leading receiver in the league, and Nicks as missed most of the season–making him the sole focus of defenses– speaks to his abilities.

His salsa dance is pretty annoying. Helluva reciever though.

The difference between Cruz and Wallace will probably be night and day in terms of other team’s desire to make him an offer. There is no way the Giants will be able to tender him, at even a 1st and 3rd and fend off other teams.
