Victor Cruz Restructures Contract To Remain With Giants

Mar 10, 2016 2:42 AM

Victor Cruz agreed to a restructuring of his contract to remain with the New York Giants.

Cruz was entering the fourth year of a six-year, $45.879 million extension and was expected to make $7.9 million in 2016.

Cruz tore his patellar tendon back in 2014 -- a devastating injury that can derail a career on its own. In 2015, a promising spring and summer were halted by calf issues.

The New York Giants made two expensive signings for their defensive line during the start of free agency.

Olivier Vernon agreed to a five-year, $85 million deal with the Giants. 

Vernon received the Dolphins' transition tag March 1. The one-year transition tag for a defensive end is worth $12.734 million, according to the NFL Players Association. With the tag, other teams could negotiate with Vernon, but the Dolphins had the right to match any offers.

Tom Coughlin Had 'Disaster' Interview With Eagles, Ripped Giants

Mar 4, 2016 5:58 PM

Tom Coughlin's interview with the Philadelphia Eagles was described as a "disaster" as he spent a good portion of the time complaining about the New York Giants.

“NFL sources say his hard feelings for the Giants came through loud and clear in the interview with the Eagles brain trust, which included owner Jeffrey Lurie, and he was obsessed with how he felt wronged by the Giants. He was not forthcoming about his plans for his staff. He came off more concerned with making the Giants look bad than being consumed with coaching the Eagles,” Gary Myers writes.

Coughlin still uses the Giants' facility to work out, which comes across as looking over the shoulder of Ben McAdoo.
