Let's wait and see what happens with this. Where there's smoke, there's fire. The advantage of this getting doen before the Pugh deal is that the Giants don't have to restructure/extend any contracts. Presumably, they should have enough cap room to male this deal with Cruz--if it's announced to day, thereby not necessitating any cap moves beforehand.

A cap move should made shortly thereafter though, in order to sign Pugh, since his estimated contract terms will bring the Giants' 2013 cap number down by about a million dollars. It all depends on the terms of the Cruz deal. Off the top of my head, I'd expect a 2013 cap number of something close to the $4 to $6 million range.
