Victor Cruz released by Giants, source confirms; team also releases Rashad Jennings, report says

The salsa is no more. At least not with the Giants.

The team will release popular wide receiver Victor Cruz on Tuesday, a source confirmed to Newsday. NFL Network and NorthJersey.com first reported the transaction, which marks the end of one of the more entertaining and improbable careers in Giants history.

The team also will release running back Rashad Jennings, according to ESPN.

Cruz began as an undrafted free agent in 2010, emerged as a superstar on a Super Bowl-winning team in 2011 with his trademark touchdown dance, missed nearly two full seasons of football because of knee and calf injuries, then returned to the field in 2016.
