The New York Giants released wide reciever Vuctor Cruz on Monday, according to reports.
Cruz has spent his entire seven-year career with the Giants since entering the league as an undrafted free agent. His breakout 2011 campaign -- where he caught 82 passes for 1,536 yards -- greatly contributed to the Giants' Super Bowl XLVI win over the New England Patriots.
Cruz suffered a torn patellar tendon in 2014, cutting his season short after six games. He would miss the entire 2015 campaign after lingering injury issues and a calf injury that would require season-ending surgery.
Cruz was originally signed as a rookie free agent by the Giants on April 25, 2010
In 2012, Cruz was selected to his 1st Pro Bowl, where he set the game record with 10 receptions in the NFC’s 62-35 victory. He was only the 2nd Giants wide receiver to be elected to the Pro Bowl since Homer Jones in 1968; Steve Smith was chosen in 2009 after he caught a franchise-record 107 passes.
