Thanks Victor. Thanks Mario. Thanks Hakeem.

a great great Giant

of my favorites, alongside Eli, Tuck, Amani, & Stray.

on and off the field in particular. He always handled himself with the utmost class and represented himself, his family and the Giants organization so well. He will be missed.

For putting Paterson NJ on the map for a good thing!!!
I guess you have yourself set up for your financial future and your family. Two great achievements aside form what you have done for the Giants and their fans. I hope you land squarely on your feet and if you desire to keep going in football, may God bless you and keep you injury free, but don't have good games against us.
Cojelo suave !!!

Good Luck, Cruz!

Once a Giant. . .

Fought like hell to get back.

Nothing but gratitude.

Thanks for the years of service. And mostly, thank you for Super Bowl 46!!!

for the SB run in 2011-12. Guy who fought like hell to make the roster, and fought like hell to come back from a devastating injury. Many of us expected this, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.

Thanks VC, you'll always be an all-time Giant great.

Great Giant. Great memories of many great plays.

the injury. Good luck in the future, Victor.

Probably the right thing, but damn he was a good Giant and good person. The kind of guy you wanted to root for.

A class act. Hope their is another story for him.

Hopefully, he will have his number in the Ring of Honor, but for some reason I doubt it.

Great hands, great routes, always a threat and often successful. Thanks Victor!

he hooks up with another team, appreciated what he did, but
it was time.

Thanks Victor

Best of luck.

you will be missed sir

just like all the other Giant greats. I was at the JETS game where he took it for 99 yards and propelled this team into the playoffs and ultimately another Super Bowl Championship. I'll always remember that spectacular play.

Still remember you on the training field camp a UA..an undrafted rookie. A guy who kept getting open, who couldn't be covered.

Camp fodder, they said. Then, you buried the Jets in pre-season. Made the roster, stashed for a year, then you broke out...and the rest is history.

Victor, Lord of the Dance. You were fun to watch, and that's how I'll remember you!

He will always be thought of fondly. In 2011 he was the best receiver in football.

...

I'll always remember you

The 45yd dagger off an Eli "fuck it I'm going deep" pass in week 17. Cowboys fans know what a blow that was.

That was after the two monster TD plays against the Jets and Cowboys.

Nicks was the man during the playoffs. But those last 2 reg. Games were really playoff games and Victor carried us.

You brought a lot of joy not only to Giants fans but football fans, in general. All the best !

I wish you nothing but the best Cruz... Cruz a True Giant. One of my favorite players ever to wear Blue. Great Story, Great Player, and Great Giant. Thank You Cruz. You will be missed!

You'll always be a great Giant. Thanks for the salsa!

that 2011 season was a welcome distraction to real life for me and i'm sure many others.

the magical ride had zero chance of happening without you.

99 yard TD started the run, 74 yard TD got us up early in the division clincher, the Plax-esque abuse of the SF secondary in the NFC title game, the opening TD of XLVI

an electric player. happy we had those couple great years and simultaneously it's saddening how many guys we've lost at a relatively young age to injury in the last decade

You made the 2011 season what it was. Will never forget that game against Philly.

I knew he was special the minute #3 lit up the Jets in preseason. He's a hometown boy done good and should be in the ring of honor.

a player and she was genuinely sad today when she heard the news. For a 13 year old Giants' fan you helped her fall in love with Giants football... and the salsa. As her dad I'll always remember your heart. Thanks VC.

Had serious doubts about Victor's ability to replace Steve Smith. The Giants did also as they signed the ancient Brandon Stokley to a contract after Victor dropped and easy pass on his first attempt against Washington on a 3rd down play. After that play,Cruz was just incredible and made big play after big play and was easily the catalyst that propelled our NY Giants to a Super Bowl Championship. Thank you Victor Cruz for great moments and memories. Best of luck with your next team.

that always displayed class and respectability, and was a lot of fun to watch play on Sunday. Thank you, Victor!

Man it was always great hearing that reverberate around a stadium.

Thanks for the memories.

You deserve some.

Thanks for everything, and best of luck to you in the future (unless, of course, you are playing the Gmen).

I hope that you come back and work for the organization some day. The organization can use all the class acts it can get.

for the run in 2011. Some of the greatest plays in Giants history in the biggest spots. As a Giants fan you always will have a place in my heart. Thanks for everything and good luck.

And for that.....

He will always hold a great place in our hearts.

Salsa man, you had a great run and you be will be missed.

Thank you first and foremost for representing big blue the right way. Class act I got my cousin into the Giants and he gravitated towards you and I couldn't ask for a better role model. You were a great player and we will always remember 2011 as the year of victor. Keep playing Vic will always root for you no matter what laundry you wear because you are a giant at heart

I know Football is a business but I am genuinely sad today
Vic is no longer going to wear blue !!

and damn he is going to make a new team very happy next season

hanging in the tv/movie room.

Remember the 99-yarder like it was yesterday...

You were an inspiration to many. Your talent, drive, personality, humbleness will not be forgotten. My 80 year young mom was a huge Brandon Jacobs fan and became an even bigger Victor Cruz fan. She confiscated my Cruz jersey and always wears it on gameday. She called me yesterday and was a little sad, but I assured her that someday when you retire, it will be as a Giant. She says you will always be a Giant to her.

Thank you, Victor. You will always be a Super Bowl Champion and a NY Football Giant!

Victor Cruz' coming out party - sparking something grand.

Victor good luck to you and hopefully life will be good to you.

thank you for being one of the greatest Giants of this generation. A hometown underdog story for the ages, and a world champion. Congrats and a great career in blue and thank you again for your efforts.

THAT 99 YARD TOUCHDOWN THAT STARTED THE RUN... ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYS IN MY LIFETIME!

THE BEST ROUTE RUNNER I HAVE SEEN IN A GIANTS UNIFORM! MAYBE ODELL WILL TOP YOU ONE DAY, BUT AS OF NOW... YOU ARE MY FAVORITE GIANTS RECEVIER OF ALL TIME!

MY ENTIRE FAMILY THANKS YOU FOR THE JOY YOU BROUGHT US WITH YOUR GREAT PLAY! THANK YOU VICTOR CRUZ! SEE YOU IN THE RING OF HONOR! GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES THE REST OF THE WAY!

Jack, rests in his 'Cruz' jersey - ( New Window )

I'm gonna miss your number 80 on the field, the CCCCCRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZ!!!!! chanting in all of the stadiums around the league, and your salza'ing. You were a great Giant, and in my mind, you will always be a Giant!!!

Best of luck to you and your entire family in the next chapter of your life.

You were a great Giant, on and off the field Victor. I'll always be rooting for you, unless you're playing the Giants.

Good luck in whatever comes next for you.
