		<description><![CDATA[I really the hope the Vikes sign him to a contract that the Giants cant match.  Trading Harvin for Jennings, Cruz and a 3rd and 7th round pick sounds pretty damn good to me.  The Vikes say they are going to draft a WR with their 1st round pick (or at least most people think they will), so why not get a proven stud WR for that 1st round pick, instead of a maybe player.  The Vikes still have tons of cap room, so getting Cruz for that Harvin 1st round pick, would be icing on the cake.  Cmon Vikes, get er done!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cruz was offered that amount, mrlynch33, or thereabout, from what I&#039;ve heard locally. He wanted over $11M on average. We&#039;ll see next offseason, but Vic will be a Giant next year. Depending on how well Randle comes along, they may just decide to let him walk next offseason, or tag him, which is another option they will have. To pay him the amount he wants for one year is a good deal, and they can then work out a new deal after the 2014 season, since they will have already secured Nicks long-term and will have more room under the cap with several contracts coming off the books or eligible for restructuring, come next offseason. Reese is the best GM in the NFC for a reason.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cruz ain&#039;t going anywhere.  The owners screwed the players with restricted FA.  They collude with one another (shocker, I know).  For 10 years, no team has gone after a RFA.  Also, they have already shown that if your tabbed as a WR1, aka a deep threat, you get big money.  WR2, aka slot guy, gets #2 money.  It&#039;s how they stay rich.  If one team caves, it resets the entire market.  Also, rookies, regardless of pick number have their cap number slotted.  So, even if a team is willing to part with a number 1, it&#039;s still gonna cost them wayyyyyyy more to sign Cruz, then a rookie.  Finally, the Giants still get right of first refusal, so they see what the market offers, and if its not too bad, they will match it.  Why would they send Cruz a huge offer when they have him by the balls?  Cruz will be a Giant, mark my words.  Reese is playing this brilliantly.]]></description>

Boy I tell ya. If I’m Rick Speilman I get Victor Cruz in a Vikings uniform with that late first rounder we got for Percy. That might open things up for A.P. Just might happen yet. Skol.

----------------------------

A team gives up their own picks when signing RFAs, not picks acquired in trades.  I&#039;m pretty sure that if they have no first round pick of their own, they cannot make Cruz or any other restricted free agent with a 1st round tender an offer even if they acquired a 1st round pick from another team (this holds true for any round).  The acquired pick is considered the original team&#039;s pick for administration purposes--in this case, the &quot;late rounder for Percy&quot; is considered Seattle&#039;s not Minnesota&#039;s.   If this is the only first rounder they have, then Minn cannot make an offer to Cruz.

And, if a team has multiple first rounders, again, the compensation is the team&#039;s own pick, not the pick acquired in a trade.  So, if Minn&#039;s own pick is say # 22 and they acquired the 28th pick from Seattle, Minn would give up # 22 to sign the RFA.  They can&#039;t choose the lower pick.  I&#039;m pretty sure vice versa too.  If Minn&#039;s pick was 28 and they acquired # 22, they would lose # 28 for the RFA.

I could be wrong, but I think I heard this explained on NFLN recently.  I hope I got it right anyway.]]></description>

------------------------------------------
1. victor cruz has better 1st two year numbers than the great jerry rice.
2. the redskins were already stopped when your cereal box, gimmick QB went down with his 2nd serious knee injury.
3. the redskins have not been relevant for years.
4. garcon is elite,,lmao? really? cruz has basically the same numbers in 2 seasons compared to garcon&#039;s 5 seasons,,so who is elite?
4. shut up already.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not sure how a Giants thread, turns into a redskins thread? Giants = 2 recent Super Bowl victories. Redskins= humiliating wild card loss. Not even worth debating. That said if the Rams were smart they would give up a 1st rounder and pay Cruz. Passing game problems solved]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember how good the NY Giants receiver Steve Smith was when he was on the squad?  How did he do in Philly the next year?  He wasn&#039;t injured.  He just didn&#039;t have an elite QB to &quot;throw him open&quot; like Eli continues to do.  

Certainly want Cruz to stay a Giant, but Nicks is more valuable (if he can stay healthy).  Jerry Reese can&#039;t afford both.  Maybe Tom Condon will figure that out.  Cruz can make a lot of money off the field, and there&#039;s no better place to do that than New York.  Ask Strahan about that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s Cruz&#039;s market? There are two markets for WR right now - Wallace/ Bower type contracts, and Welker/ Jennings type contracts. Cruz thinks hes worth the former, Giants think he&#039;s worth the latter. I think NYG are going to need to split the difference right now if they want to keep him around.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Said it before and I&#039;ll say it again.  

If I am a team with a really low first round pick (Hello New England!) or multiple first round picks (Hello Minnesota!) who could use wide reciever help, I definitely consider taking a run at this guy.

What&#039;s better?  An unproven commodity who based upon past draft history is about 50% to bust out completely, or a proven commodity with 168 catches and 19 TD&#039;s over the last two years.

And who cares if the Giants match?  Since when did it become a bad thing to dictate what your competitors were forced to pay their free agents?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure how the Jets don&#039;t pay attention to the team right down the street from them.

See how Jerry Reese doesn&#039;t feel the need to tell the world what is going on with Giants personnel, front office, and so on...?

Meanwhile the Jets own front office is spreading rumors about Revis trades and now Rex Ryan claims the Jets aren&#039;t even actively shopping Darrelle Revis....


And did that guy with the first comment really say Pierre Garcon was an elite TOP 3 receiver...? Thin line between pride in your team and stupidity.]]></description>
