Victor Cruz has agreed to a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears.

Cruz, 30, joined the Giants as an undrafted free agent out of UMass in 2010 and quickly made his mark. He starred on their Super Bowl XLVI-winning team in 2011 and had 303 catches, 4,549 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns during his time with the Giants.

The Bears were thin at wide receiver following the departure of Alshon Jeffery.

Cruz is 2½ years removed from major knee surgery and would have counted for $9.4 million against the Giants' salary cap in 2017. New York freed up $7.5 million in cap space with his release.

Odell Beckham, Jr. has signed a shoe deal with Nike.

According to sources with knowledge of the deal, Beckham's contract is a five-year deal worth in the neighborhood of $5 million a year -- the richest shoe deal for an NFL player.

The deal will make Beckham a larger brand spokesman for Nike, including campaigns outside of football. Adidas wanted to sign the wide receiver away from Nike, which drove up the value.

Rashad Jennings and partner Emma Slater won the "Dancing with the Stars" finale on Tuesday night.

The running back edged former Major League Baseball player David Ross and Lindsay Arnold for the crown in the show's 24th season.

Jennings, a free agent, spent the previous three seasons with the New York Giants.

It's possible that Davis Webb, who the New York Giants selected in the third round of this year's draft, will eventually replace Eli Manning at quarterback.

The Giants, however, aren't ready to make that proclamation.

"I think it's a little premature to be anointing this guy as the heir apparent to Eli, he hasn't set foot on the field yet. But he's got a lot of talent and we're looking forward to seeing what we got when he gets here," John Mara said on The Rich Eisen Show.

"As Bill Parcells used to say, let's not get his bust ready for Canton just yet. Listen he's a talented guy, but let's let him get on the field, let's let him get on the field, let's let him play in the preseason and develop. If he's the successor, that's great. If not, we'll find somebody else."

Manning turned 36 in January.

Giants wide receiver Brandon Marshall said he plans to play just two more years in the NFL.

Marshall, 33, spoke Saturday at the NBC4 Health and Fitness Expo at MetLife Stadium, saying he reached his decision last week. The six-time Pro Bowler signed a two-year deal as a free agent with the Giants this offseason.

"Two more years, get my Super Bowl, have a little bit more fun, and then I'm going to go change the world in the mental health space," Marshall said.

Victor Cruz has yet to sign with a team and has no plans to retire.

"I just want to play," Cruz told the New York Post. "I'm just anxious to get on a team, anxious to play some football to see where I end up. ...

"I'm just anxious to see someone that wants me on their team and I end up being there. It's my first time being in this position, it's my first time being in free agency. After being on a team for seven years, you never know what to expect. I'm just excited for this opportunity, excited to be ready, and see where I end up."

Cruz was released by the New York Giants in February.

Cruz had an excellent start to his career but has been slowed by injuries since 2014.

Paul Perkins will enter his second season as the starting running back for the New York Giants, says Ben McAdoo.

Perkins had been expected to be the starter, but this is the first time McAdoo has confirmed so publicly.

The Giants used a fifth-round pick on Perkins last spring and he started the team's 2016 regular season finale.
