Victor Cruz – MDHQ http://www.mockdrafthq.com Updated Mock Drafts, Prospect Rankings, Scouting Reports Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:24:40 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Victor Cruz and Giants Agree to a Long Term Deal http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2013/07/victor-cruz-and-giants-agree-to-a-long-term-deal.html Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:24:40 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=5477 One of the biggest free agent receivers is officially off the market. Despite no team willing to offer Cruz a deal and trade a first round pick to the Giants to acquire the restricted free agent, Cruz has finally landed a long term deal in New York.

According to the terms Cruz will not hit that eight figure mark but he won’t be much far behind:

Due to earn $2.987 million in 2013 as a restricted free agent, Cruz will make much more than that in 2013 and beyond. With Cruz wanting in the range of $10 million per year and the Giants previously offering an annual amount in the $7 million neighborhood, don’t be surprised if the final number is in the $8.5 million ballpark.

]]> Victor Cruz to Spend More Time Catching Passes, Less Time Doing the Salsa http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/09/victor-cruz-to-spend-more-time-catching-passes-less-time-doing-the-salsa.html Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:03:25 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=3947 I’m just poking a little fun with the title, but for anyone that saw the NFL’s opening game it was evident that Victor Cruz had a little bit of dropitis in him. Cruz dropped at least three on target passes Wednesday night.

Don’t worry Giants fan, Cruz plans to spend more time focusing on making the catch from here on out:

“There’s no excuses for me,” Cruz said. “I have to catch those footballs.”

Dropped passes aren’t an official NFL statistic, but by one count Cruz had at least 10 of them last year. Giants coach Tom Coughlin acknowledged after the game that that’s a problem.

“Victor sometimes has concentration lapses where he tries to run before he catches the ball,” Coughlin said. “It was just a concentration lapse and something he’s got to continue to work on.”
