Victor Cruz remains without a new deal, but the New York Giants are optimistic that a long-term deal will be eventually reached.
“I'm pretty confident that we'll end up reaching a deal,’’ co-owner John Mara said on "NFL AM." "This is not that atypical a situation. Player contracts, particularly with star players like Victor, can tend to drag on from time to time. I think we'll get it done."
The Giants are believed to have made an offer to Cruz worth more than $7 million per season.
Cruz, however, was initially seeking a deal that pays an annual average of $10 million.
