Victor Cruz just lit a match and tossed it into Soldier Field, and Bears fans everywhere are fuming.
On a recent podcast appearance, the former New York Giants wide receiver didn’t just critique the Chicago Bears — he unleashed a full-blown verbal beatdown. Cruz didn’t hold back, reportedly calling “everything about the Bears organization trash” compared to his beloved Giants. Yes, everything. Not just the roster. Not just the coaching. The entire operation.
Let that sink in.
Cruz didn’t simply take a jab at Chicago’s current quarterback situation or lack of playoff success — he went scorched earth. From ownership to the front office to the training staff and locker room culture, it sounds like nothing in Halas Hall passed the Victor Cruz vibe check. And for a player who spent a grand total of one offseason with the Bears back in 2017 before getting cut, the boldness of this takedown is next level.
Sure, Cruz had an incredible run in New York. A Super Bowl ring, Pro Bowl nods, and the iconic salsa touchdown celebration made him a fan favorite. But tearing down an entire franchise because your stint there didn’t work out? That’s personal. This wasn’t analysis — this was a hit job.
And don’t think Bears Nation hasn’t noticed. Social media erupted, with fans dragging Cruz’s short-lived Chicago career and reminding him that the Bears are on the rise with a new era ahead, while the Giants are still riding the fumes of a decade-old title.
The craziest part? Cruz may have just created the NFL’s next quiet rivalry. Imagine Caleb Williams torching the Giants in a future game and hitting a little salsa in the end zone. The drama writes itself.
Victor Cruz woke up and chose chaos. Now the Bears fanbase has receipts — and you better believe they won’t forget it.
