It's not crazy if Giants pick Nicks over Cruz

[giantsfan420]

good post drewz. rr looked good at the end of the yr, damn good...ur points bout nicks n cruz r true too

[M00KIE]

Both will be NYG next year.

[Captain Chaos]

It will a tough decision, the question is how important is the slot receiver?

[RoanokeFan]

eli will do whatever necessary with his contract to keep both, mark it.

Eli is not going to take a pay cut and restructuring him and others is how we keep getting into CAP hell.

Or who is the more productive? Over the last two years, that has been Cruz, even if Nicks is the better athlete.

Next year or this year? I agree for 2013, but not for 2014 nexcessarily

Both will be here this coming season. What if Randle becomes a super star? Do they let an often injured Nicks go so they can keep Cruz? What if Nicks plays every game this year? What if JJ gets a chance this year and shines? This will have to wait until the end of this next coming season. Oh, please no more restructuring and no one is giving money back either.

These are interesting times.

Nothing with being in salary cap hell at the right time. Right now, our window to win is now. Once Eli retires, we're in rebuilding mode anyway. Nothing w rong with a one year 40 million dollar cap hit when you're going to be 4-12 anyway.

What's wrong is it limits the ability to keep/get the players you need to get where you want to go. It's not the original terms of the contracts nearly as much as the restructuring that follows affecting out ability to make decent long term deals with players we want to keep.
