According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, Giants WR Victor Cruz has lowered his contract demands from $10 – $11 million per season, to a “payday much closer to what the Giants are offering,” which was around $8 million per season.
Cruz’s asking price was reportedly holding up negotiations and the possibility of the two sides reaching an agreement on a long-term deal.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported last night that the Giants value Cruz as more than a slot receiver, which is why their offer price sits around $8 million annually.
Cruz, 26, is entering the final year of his contract, so it will be interesting to see how things play out in the coming months.
