80 Victor Cruz, WR

Giants receiver Victor Cruz is looking to sign a long-term contract, and he reportedly wants to be paid at least $10 million per year. The Giants don't feel that Cruz is worth that much and would pay him more than $7 million per year.

The New York Post reports that it is believed the Giants are offering $12-15 million in guaranteed money, and Cruz is seeking $15-18 million in guaranteed money.

If Cruz did not sign the restricted free agent tender offer he was given he could have held out of training camp with no repercussions, as the Giants could not fine him because he would not have had a contract. That leverage is now gone for Cruz, who would incur fines of $30,000 for every day he held out of training camp.

Victor Cruz has signed his restricted free agent tender, ESPN was first to report, meaning he's locked into a one-year deal worth nearly $2.9 million. The New York Daily News doesn't believe Cruz will hold out from training camp but has learned that Cruz is looking for a long-term contract estimated at $9 million per year.

NFL.com reports that Giants receiver Victor Cruz is unlikely to attend the team's mandatory minicamp this week. The report says contract talks with Cruz and the Giants are "moving incredibly slowly," and Cruz won't show up without a deal in place. Cruz is a restricted free agent, and he has yet to sign his tender offer of $2.879 million. He is not subject to being fined since he's not technically under contract. The New York Daily News reports that fellow Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks spoke to Cruz prior to the start of Tuesday's minicamp. "He's doing good," Nicks said. "His mind is in the right spot. So he understands the business side of it. He understands the game as well. He still loves his team. He still wants to be here."
