The purpose of the NFC East Notebook is to keep up with the New York Giants‘ divisional rivals, but I’d be remiss not to acknowledge the release of Victor Cruz. It was the biggest story in the NFC East this past week.
Cruz became the latest NFL-veteran cap casualty, as his contract value soared far beyond his on-field productivity. It was inevitable and you’re all familiar with the story.
What I will say is it’s been fun to watch the Paterson, N.J. native’s career unfold in Giants’ blue, from undrafted free agent to nationally recognized star and champion.
