Official Redskins Off-Season News & Rumors-Part Trois

[Monkeydad]

Also, helping the Redskins, the Victor Cruz situation is getting interesting...

Time running out on Cruz's free agency | New York Daily News

Cliff notes:

*Giants offer Cruz $7 million, he declines and wants $10-11 million.

*Cruz gets a new agent, Jay-Z...who is pushing for a contract like Dwayne Bowe's (5 yr/$56 million).

*Other option is a $2.879 one-year tender to stay with Giants another season.

*Cruz did not sign an offer sheet with another team prior to 04/19 midnight deadline, meaning no other team wants to make him an offer.

*Giants can reduce Cruz's one-year, $2.879 million tender to $630,000 if he doesn't sign a contract by July 17.

*Giants GM Reese says he's not sure Cruz will report to team by Week 1. If Cruz holds out past Week 10, he loses a year of NFL accrued experience and will be an RFA again...and they'll repeat all of this mess in 2014.

“Victor is not here. He is a free agent. He is exercising all of his options, and we will see where it goes,” Reese said. “I don’t assume anything. We’ll see. I can tell you this: When we get ready to play, when the season starts, we will have some good players out there. I’m not sure if Victor will be there or not. But I don’t assume anything.”
