As 2017 free agency rapidly approaches and teams start to jettison players that may be too expensive to keep around or too injured to see the field, things get more interesting. The New York Giants’ release of wide receiver Victor Cruz is one of the more eye popping moves of late.
For teams that have struggled to win, Cruz is a valuable target in free agency. He instantly makes an offense better and can be a difference maker when he is on the field. Most teams that finish with just a handful of wins desperately need that kind of talent injection at a crucial position.
