The New York Giants are bracing for a challenger in the Victor Cruz sweepstakes. Based on Jim Irsay's hyperactive Twitter feed, it's certainly fair to theorize the Indianapolis Colts could be in the mix. But that's not the case, according to what Irsay told reporters in Arizona at the NFL Annual Meeting on Sunday night. "It's not Cruz, no," the colorful Colts owner said Sunday night, according to The Indianapolis Star. Irsay tweeted Saturday that the Colts had been working on a deal for five days, adding that they were "very, very, very close" to making it work. He hinted in a subsequent tweet that the targeted player is a wide receiver. In another tweet, he called the mystery receiver a "whopper." Source: NFL.com

Schefter said on twitter that there is zero chance any team goes after Cruz. He said this a week or 2 ago.
