We all know the injury history, but would you take a flyer on the guy? He seemed like he still had a little left in the tank last year and was able to stay pretty healthy. He would be an upgrade over much of what we have now to say the least. What say you TBD? Edited January 31, 2017 by H2o
YoloinOhio Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Yes, if it was a relatively cheap deal and if he's healthy. I really think we have needed a seasoned vet WR on this team for awhile who can lead and be a mentor, and still play. Not sure if he's that guy but he could replace Woods and then we still draft one relatively high. Edited January 31, 2017 by YoloinOhio
Mr. WEO Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Another vet WR with a propensity for injury.....MAKE IT SO!!
dulles Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 As much as I like his talent, I'd rather retain Woods and Hunter for blocking as well as their trajectory is upward. Cruz is in decline. You can't play him on ST either.
Nanker Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Put a fly on Victor Cruz? Maybe that's how he learned the salsa.
iommi Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 As long as he brings us along on his next boating excursion.
boyst Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Ask yourself what would Rex Ryan do. Then don't do it. I remember many were high on he and that Meachem guy a few yrs ago. I never understood it
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 He's gone. He won't be with the Giants. I think they need a bigger receiver opposite Watkins. Don't think Cruz is the right fit. Especially if Tyrod sticks- I want to see a K Benj sized dude
BillsFanInJax Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Might as well kick the tires on him if the price is right.
Solomon Grundy Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 No!!! Dancing with the stars is waiting on him

He would be an upgrade over much of what we have now to say the least. What say you TBD? Yes I would, but he would not be one of my early targets or choices. I do think Cruz showed he can still contribute and he is coming off a year where he needed managed to stay healthy. But we have a stable of WR's who struggle with injuries, so again he is not ideal from a reliability stand point. Personally, my top targets at WR this offseason would be Garcon or DeSean in terms of guys who can be impact players and in that first tier of guys on the market. The 2 older Vets that can still be valuable and come a bit cheaper that I like are Britt or Boldin. And the 2 younger guys I like to take a chance on at a cheaper price tag are Cordelle and Floyd. Cruz would be one of those ones that I wouldn't consider unless a lot of the more reliable options were gone, but I wouldnt be upset if we took a flyer on him as I think when healthy he is still better than Woods.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 There's no way I'm giving Woods close to $8 million per year. THIS TIMES 100000000 I really don't want to resign Woods...especailly for anything remotely close to that number.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 THIS TIMES 100000000 I really don't want to resign Woods...especailly for anything remotely close to that number. Woods gets picked up by Atlanta, proceeds to amass 1200 receiving yards and 10 TD's, and TSW calls for Whaley's head for not paying him.
NoSaint Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Woods gets picked up by Atlanta, proceeds to amass 1200 receiving yards and 10 TD's, and TSW calls for Whaley's head for not paying him. That's not the best reason to make a move I'd be hard pressed to find $8m value in any season he's put up, yet alone to expect it consistently. He's a good WR and I won't be upset if we keep him but even if he produces elsewhere I'd struggle to see him producing that stat line here

So you are saying Woods > Sanu? And I have yet to see a FA rankings list where Woods was in the top 50 available players, so I am willing to take my chances. You can't trip and fall your way to 1200 yards in a season.
