NEW YORK -- Eli Manning admits the Victor Cruz's contract situation is "nerve-racking" and says he is willing to consider restructuring his contract if it helps.

Manning hasn't been approached by the New York Giants about his deal, but the Giants franchise quarterback hopes in the meantime that Cruz's decision to sign with his agent, Tom Condon, will help keep the successful tandem together for years to come.

"If the Giants want to work something out, I am always up for listening and figuring out what I can do to help the cause," Manning said when asked if he would restructure his contract while making an appearance at the Samsung Spring Launch at the Museum of American Finance. "That is kind of up to the Giants and what they want to do. I am always up for listening and doing whatever is best for the team to put us in a [situation] to win more championships."

Manning said he has been reading the newspapers every day looking to see if another team will make a contract offer to Cruz, who is a restricted free agent. The Giants tendered Cruz with a first-round tender, giving them the right to match any offer sheet made by another team. If the Giants opt not to match a contract offer, they will receive a first-round pick as compensation.

Cruz has been trying to work out a long-term extension with the Giants since last season and has been unsuccessful. If Cruz does not receive an offer from another team -- odds that are in the Giants' favor since any team that wants Cruz has to be willing to sign him to a lucrative deal and surrender a first-round pick -- he will be back with the Giants for at least this season and can continue to work on a new deal.
