Negotiations between the New York Giants and restricted free-agent WR Victor Cruz are at a stalemate. Cruz still has a desire to sign a long-term deal as soon as possible. ‘Hopefully we can end that talk soon, man,’ Cruz said. ‘Hopefully we can get a deal done, if not with the Giants then unfortunately somewhere else. But I want to be a Giant for a long time, so we’ll see how it goes.’ At this point, the most likely scenario still appears to be the team placing a first-round tender on Cruz, guaranteeing him a one-year salary of approximately $2.9 million. That would give Cruz the right to seek offers from other teams; however, the Giants would have the right to match and the right to compensation in the form of a first-round pick if they don’t.
