Giants assigned restricted free agent WR Victor Cruz a first-round tender.
The first-round tender will protect the Giants against potentially interested teams. Any club would have to surrender a top-32 draft pick, in addition to a mammoth contract, in order to pry Cruz away from New York. Despite previous reports to the contrary, we don't envision Cruz having much of a restricted free agent market. The first-round tender is worth $2.879 million. The Giants eventually intend to lock up Cruz, 26, long term.
