The Facts:
The Giants would also like to re-sign Nicks at some point, but preliminary talks with his agent went nowhere, according to an NFL source, and in recent interviews Nicks has sounded very lukewarm about re-signing with the Giants before he becomes an unrestricted free agent next spring.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This after the team agreed to terms on
a new five-year, $43 million deal with Victor Cruz. The Giants have made it clear that retaining Nicks is a priority. But it sounds like that might not be a mutual thing. Then again, it doesn't have to be. The Giants do have the option of placing the “franchise tag” on him next March, but that likely would cost them about $11 million for 2014. That might be a bit more difficult after paying their WR2 $8 million a year.
