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.
He spent three seasons with the Miami Hurricanes before transferring to UGA for the 2019 season. Cager finished his 33-game college career with 14 touchdowns and 1,157 receiving yards.
