The New York Giants released former Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Lawrence Cager ahead of the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline. Cager, who plays tight end in the NFL, recorded four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown last season with New York.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound tight end/wide receiver could look for a new NFL home or land a spot on a practice squad. He finished the 2022 NFL season with a career-high 13 receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown, which was the most productive year of his career.
Cager had previous NFL stops with the New York Jets (2020, 2022) and Cleveland Browns (2021). He is a receiving target in the red zone due to his size and outstanding ability to win contested-catch situations.
Cager appeared in two games with the New York Jets in 2020 and caught two catches for 35 yards.
