Victor Cruz hasn’t garnered much interest on the open market, but he’s not about to retire from football. The former Giants wide receiver says that he has no plans to quit and insists that he can “still play,” (Twitter link via Zach Braziller of the New York Post). 
Cruz was on the field for 15 regular season games last year but the Giants still released him this offseason in order to free up $7.5MM in cap space. The salsa dancing wide receiver visited the Panthers soon after being cut, but he left Charlotte, North Carolina without a deal. The Panthers have added three wide receivers this offseason via free agency, but that door theoretically could still be open after they did not select a wide receiver in the draft. Former Buccaneer Russell Shepard has the ability to play in all three wide receiver spots, but Cruz could be a consideration as a slot specialist.
Cruz caught 303 passes and 25 touchdowns as a member of the Giants. With millions of dollars in the bank and a Super Bowl ring, no one would blame the 30-year-old for retiring, but he sounds determined to take the field in 2017.
Bears could be a landing spot along with the 49ers or Rams
Couldn’t agree more
Dude cares more for his salsa dancing than he does for his craft. He just wants a paycheck to hit the clubs every Friday night
So very wrong. So very, very wrong.
Sorry, didn’t know you were friends with the guy.
You are so incredibly wrong. I’ve been a Giants fan my entire life and I was/am a huge Victor Cruz fan. The guy absolutely loves playing football. His injury was devastating to him and he worked his tail off to come back. He just got lost in the mix upon his return. He is naturally a slot receiver which was taken over by Shepard. He could still be an asset in this league for sure. And the salsa dance.. he does that in memory and dedication to his deceased grandmother. But I’m sure you’re right.. all he cares about is a paycheck and salsa dancing -_-
Fisher you’re fishing with stupid comments
Who isn’t
Man – you don’t know anything about this guy. Don’t know if you’re just ignorant, stupid or racist! Maybe all three!
You dropped your race card. Be sure you don’t forget to pick it up as I am sure you will be needing it again really soon.
Screw it. Jets get him. Keep him in NY/NJ!
Cowboys pick em’ up for peanuts to slot next to the “X-man!!”
Would not hurt a bit. Bigger fan of his then Cole Beasley.
If Tom was still the coach Cruz would still be with Big Blue!!
