The NFL is a revolving door, and if a player can’t stay on top of his game, he will be punching a one-way ticket to the retirement home. For formerNew York Giants wide out Victor Cruz, this offseason will prove if he has what it takes to keep his NFL career going.

Cruz put out a video via Uninterrupted on Twitter saying, “Being a Giant was a dream come true, and I’m happy I got to live that dream, but this isn’t the end. I still have some football left in front of me, and I still want to play the game of football.”

Cruz has had his fair share of injuries, but at age 30, there are plenty of teams that will be willing to take a shot on the veteran receiver. All across the league, there are teams trying to get a hold of Cruz. Whether it’s a team trying to find a compliment for a primary target, or a team just trying to fill seats, there is a market for him.

Cruz has always been a crisp route runner with a great work ethic, and that’s exactly what every coach looks for in a receiver. He might have lost a step or two over the years, but he would still be an effective slot presence.

Which teams should be willing to give him a shot? Let’s take a look.
