Is there an organization that is run better than the New York Football Giants??? In any sport?? I don’t think so. Both Nicks and Cruz are great receivers and they will both get the contracts that they deserve. Doing Nicks first makes perfect sense. Especially since he is coming off a down year due to nagging injuries. Big Blue can save a little bit of cash by taking care of Hakeem now. Cruz will get a long term deal also. The Giants are to smart to let Cruz get away. There may not be 2 guys who compliment each other better than Nicks and Cruz in the entire league. Best part is they are both team first guys. They are not “me” guys. They each have at least 10 good years ahead of them. They are each heading into the prime of their careers. Hakeem just celebrated his 25th birthday, and Vic is 26. Thats right, 25 and 26. With the 2 time Super Bowl MVP under center, Jerry Reese will lock up the core of this offense for the long term over the next 2 off seasons. Last week Mr. Mara said something about the window being wide open???? Open???? Not only is it open, it is the size of the new Giants Stadium. And with RG3 one knee injury away from retirement, and Tony Romo being well, Tony Romo, that NFC East window’s gonna be wide open for a long, long time.

Even though the numbers may not reflect it due to the injuries he played through but Nicks is far more valuable to that offense than Cruz. Cruz is an excellent slot receiver but he wouldn’t be effective without a true number 1 out there. The Giants got a steal when they drafted Randle so they are in good shape out wide.

Smart move, Cruz has much less leverage. When Nicks’ contract is up, he’s unrestricted. Gone if not resigned. Assuming they do get both locked in long term, Giants have Nicks and Randle out wide, with Cruz in the slot. That’s a damn good squad no matter who you’re playing. Even better if Bennet is resigned as well, and Wilson getting more reps.

Slot receivers have to realize they aren’t as valuable? Cruz has proven his value slot/downfield/speed, and all Nicks seems to prove is he is injury prone. Nothing wrong with making Cruz wait, but Welker proved his value after gets screwed by Belichik the Bully! I would make Nicks prove his too!

Smart move. The slot receivers like Welker & Cruz have to realize that they arent as vital as the bigger WRs whom man the outside. Inside guys move the chains. Outside guys put the points on the board.

Take care of Nicks first and then Cruz second.

Good moves by the Giants to lock this guy down for the future.
