Lawrence Cager, who was set to be an exclusive rights free agent, is returning to the New York Giants. The team announced Monday afternoon that the 25-year-old tight end has been re-signed.
Cager caught 13 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown in seven games after being signed to the practice squad in mid-October. In Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles, when the Giants played almost exclusively backups, Cager had a career-high eight receptions for 69 yards. He played 203 offensive snaps for the Giants.
In the playoffs, Cager caught two passes for 20 yards.
