The rest of the league chimes in on Cruz’s new deal:
- Cruz's new deal could impact Randall Cobb's next deal in Green Bay. Acme Packing Company looks at the takeaways in the Cruz situation, compared to Cobb, who will have his own situation coming up.
- Cruz's deal won't impact A.J. Green's new deal, which will be coming sometime before he hits free agency after the 2014 season. Cincy Jungle notes Green's contract will be much higher. "We're thinking that Green's eventual contract will either set the market at the position, or lean against Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald money of something in the neighborhood of $15 million per season and $45-50 million guaranteed," Cincy Jungle writes.
- Cruz has produced more than Bucs receiver Mike Williams in two years, but his deal could raise the price on Williams' eventual deal. "It means Williams likely won't get the $8.5 million per year deal Cruz received," Bucs Nation writes, "but he'll certainly get a contract closer to that than the $6 million per year deal I had projected earlier this offseason."
Broncos improve their contract offer to Ryan Clady. The deadline for franchise tagged players to ink long-term deals comes next Monday. Clady's offer is reportedly more than $10 million per year.
