While he may not be any closer to a deal with the Giants, Victor Cruz is apparently sorting through offers for a reality television show.

“It is going to be something that is very unique to me and very unique to what I like, and like to do,” Cruz said, via James Desborough of the New York Daily News. “We are still fielding some requests, so we will see how it goes — the timing has to be right, and I have got to squeeze in some training in there before the season starts.”

Cruz said the show would be focused on him, and wants no part of anything approaching the ridiculous reality show “marriage” of Kim Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries.

“I definitely want it to be my show,” he said. “My own thing, something that I can contribute to and something I like to do, I can be comfortable with, and an easy show, something people like to watch and that people can be in tune with on a daily basis.”

Of course, he’d also like to set the show in New York, with a Super Bowl run as a backdrop.

“We understand the Super Bowl is in New York City, and that is motivation for us, . . . we have got to be ready to go,” he said.

Of course, before he helps them win a Super Bowl, he’s going to need to reach a contract agreement, a process that has turned into a miniseries of its own this offseason.
