Unable to get a long-term deal with the Giants, wide receiver Victor Cruz is changing agents to someone who has proven to be able to do business with them.

According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today, Cruz is switching his representation to Tom Condon of CAA, who also negotiated deals with the Giants for Eli Manning and Mathias Kiwanuka.

Cruz is a restricted free agent, and Giants tendered him at the first-round compensation level, which would pay him $2.879 million.

That’s a far cry from what Cruz would earn, and what he should earn.

And the pressure’s now on Condon to deliver, because this isn’t Cruz’s first switch.
