The Facts: Victor Cruz’s recovery from a torn patellar tendon has gone well enough that he’s expected to take part in Friday’s opening practice of training camp, but the Giants still decided to add to their receiving corps. Jones told reporters he'll be signing a one-year deal with the team.
Diehards Line:
The deal reunites Jones with Giants OC Ben McAdoo. McAdoo was on the Packers staff when Jones was in Green Bay and the receiver should be familiar with aspects of a Giants offense that borrows from what the Packers did while McAdoo was in the organization. Jones had 73 catches for 666 yards and six touchdowns in Oakland last year. He had 310 catches for 4,305 yards and 37 touchdowns during seven years with the Packers.
