Four days after helping the Giants win Super Bowl XLVI, wide receiver Victor Cruz said he ‘deserves’ a big raise before the 2012-13 season according to the Ralph Vacchiano and Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News.
“I think I was paid relative to where I came in this year, and I came in as a free agent so I don’t feel like I was underpaid,” Cruz said on PFT Live. “After my performance this year, I feel like I deserve to be paid more money at this point.”
Cruz, 25, an undrafted free agent, made just $450,000 this season, but emerged as one of the top receivers in the NFL with 82 catches for a franchise-record 1,536 yards.
“Honestly, with what I did this year — statistically and the records and everything like that — obviously I feel like just looking at the top players in the league and looking at what I did this year, I feel like, naturally, there should be an increase in pay,” Cruz said.
