Giants and Victor Cruz not close...he wants Dwayne Bowe money.

Cruz has already expressed a desire to sign a long-term deal with his hometown team many times, and the Giants have said they intend to keep him. That’s why, as the Daily News reported two weeks ago, the Giants offered Cruz a long-term deal worth $7 million annually, which one NFL source added included more than $20 million guaranteed.

Cruz, with his former agent, was believed to be seeking much more, however. Several NFL sources said his asking price was closer to $10 million-$11 million per year, which is about the going rate for a No. 1 receiver in the NFL. With the two sides not close, the Giants gave Cruz a “first-round tender” before the free-agent market opened in early March, which would get him a salary of $2.879 million 2013 if he signs it.

I like him and want him to stay a Giant but he's not 11 mill a year good, too many drops.

That is what the Patriots said with Wes Welker and they let him go, and he somehow signs for less then 10 million a year. Same thing will probably happen with Cruz, only big difference is age.

Seeing that Rodgers won a SB 2 years before Flacco did, Rodgers should be paid the highest salary of all of the starting quarterbacks in the league. Rodgers has been a great QB.

According to Jerry Jones, all a QB needs to do is to put up big numbers during the regular season and choke in important games with playoff implications to get a lot of money as a QB

So QB's should be paid for winning Super Bowls, yes/no ?

The 11- 10 million number was being asked by his first agent, he no longer works with him, he and Eli now have the same agent.

That is not a good thing for the Giants because I am pretty sure Eli is going to get paid around 20 million this upcoming season, so obviously this agent knows how to get money for his players.

If they do it with the playing ability of Brady, Rodgers, Flacco, Manning x2, Brees, and Big Ben then yes.
