The Facts:
Following up on the ongoing story. ... Justin Tuck expected Cruz to be present when the New York Giants' voluntary offseason conditioning started on Monday. There was never a good reason to believe the restricted free agent would report, though. Cruz failed to show Monday, reports NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Reported by NFL.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Having yet to sign his $2.879 million tender, Cruz has no reason to risk injury in workouts. Although teams have until Friday to sign him to an offer sheet, Cruz reportedly has told his agents not to court interest because he wants to remain with the Giants on a long-term deal. ... As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling notes, Cruz recently joined Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks for a throwing session at Duke University. Wesseling added: "As long as he reports to spring practices after signing his tender, his absence this week will be forgotten. ..." Agreed.
