We have a break in the stalemate between Victor Cruz and the New York Giants.

ESPN's Josina Anderson reports that Cruz is heading to the Giants' facility Friday morning with the intention of signing his first-round restricted free-agent tender of $2.87 million.

"I'm going to sign my tender today and will continue talks for a long-term deal before camp starts," Cruz reportedly told Anderson.

The Giants had the opportunity to reduce Cruz's tender to $630,000 if he did not sign it by June 17, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported. We imagine this was a motivating factor for Cruz, who sat out all offseason activities while looking for a long-term deal. The two sides are still far apart on that issue, according to Rapoport.

By signing his tender, Cruz contractually will be bound to attend Giants training camp next month.

Contractually bound to attend camp? Aren't all players under contract contractually bound? This won't stop him from holding out, right?
