NY Giants release Victor Cruz and Rashad Jennings, according to report cited by ESPN

[True Dough]

Both guys have had their injury problems, particularly Cruz. I'm sure both will land with another team, but maybe as back-ups. The emergence of Sterling Shepard helped make Cruz expendable. Not sure who the Giants will turn to in the backfield, maybe they plan to sign a free-agent RB?

1. Shame about Cruz

Such talent and because of that injury, he'll never be that electrifying receiver he once was. Watching him get into the endzone was always a treat. And I'm an Eagles fan.

But the Giants have always had a knack for finding fantastic receivers. And Shepherd will grow to become a top 10 receiver, I'm sure. If only their run game could be duplicated. Eli needs a solid RB so he's not always having to sling the ball.

2. Wasn't He A Really Good Returner, Too

I have a recollection of him doing punt returns.

3. No, he returned a few. But it wasn't really his gig.

Put together over a thousand yards receiving 2 seasons in a row and missed a third by 2 yards. Injury came the year after that.
