Victor Cruz has earned the right to have a long term deal. When most wide receivers usually have a break out season, some fail to have the same success the following year. Not Cruz, though.

Aah, the Salsa man himself, finds himself in a position to return to the Giants next season without a shadow of a doubt. The real question is whether Cruz and his agent can work out a long term deal with the Giants or if he will play out the 2013 campaign on a one year tender.

The New York Giants not only have to recover from missing the playoffs after winning the Super Bowl in 2012, but the Super Bowl host curse will rear its head again in 2013. However, I don’t believe in curses, and the 2013 draft offers sky-high potential to reform this back into a contender this season.
