Popular Post Here we go TB12 Posted May 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2020 Great interview to the UDFA Lawrence Cager. Seems like the Jets did a good job in recruiting him. Love his attitude and maturity. Just hope he can stay healthy... 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets723 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I was excited for his signing. Big target in the red zone potentially 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I think Cager has the best chance to make the team of all the UDFA’s we signed. Unless we add to the receiver room which is entirely possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenFish Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 He sounds like a mature person. Great attitude and he understands his reality. I’ll be pulling for him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Patriot Killa Posted May 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2020 Cager should of been drafted and we got him free of charge. Always remember. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 He seems like a good guy, with his head on straight. I've been impressed with his Georgia performances - I hope he can stay healthy and land a spot on the team. We are lacking a big possession WR, so hopefully Cager can be the guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 For an UDFA this is a pick I'm excited about. Think he makes the team, and has 4 TD's this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I'd really like for him or Campbell to make the team, don't really care which one as I don't have a horse in the race. I just like the idea of a big possession/red zone target for Darnold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like Cager could be a bit of evidence that we didn't like the price point for the WRs in the rest of the draft class after taking Mims. Why use a pick on a mid-round guy when we can get some mid-round quality in the UDFA pool? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Any of our undrafted WR's signed to camp actually have a chance to stick? Or is this just focusing on long shots because there isn't any other news breaking right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Curious to see what kind of role they want Cager to play. I kind of prefer him as a big slot versus playing him as an outside guy. I think there's a niche for the outside guys he doesn't fit but that big slot role is one a lot of teams have excelled using and it fits nicely with Darnold.

This pandemic was the only reason he wasn't drafted, he couldn't work out and teams has no access to his medicals. We caught a break with Cager. He's too talented to not make the team. As long as he stays healthy, he should make the roster and be productive as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats assuming the Jets carry only 5 WRs and Doctson's spot is already solidified (which it's not but he probably has the edge). So yeah, Cager has a real shot to make the roster unless the Jets trade for or sign a veteran receiver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a UDFA always has a leg up on the competition among guys who were not drafted/signed for big money. If you're a UDFA, you're a priority. The Jets probably had as high as 4th round grades on Cager and Campbell. Not to mention they're cheaply under contract for the next 3 years. Very good chance both Cager and Campbell make the team.

win4ever Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 He has a good shot to make the team. His tape kinda reminds me Collin Johnson.It might help that rosters expand this year (although I think one has to be OL). I think Mims/Crowder/Perriman/Berrios are locks. Then two spots between a bunch of guys. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Campbell and Cager are very interesting prospects. 6'4" and 6'5" respectively and that alone has value. I would like Cager more, but he has had a real problem staying healthy I've learned. Even 2019 saw another surgery at the end of the season. Ankle I believe. he does have a TD every 5.6 receptions though and that's pretty insane. With the bottom of the WR group needing to play ST's I really struggle to see him make it. ST's are not the type of thing you want an injury prone guy doing if you can avoid it. He's had knee, wrist and ankle issues. Maybe we keep 6 WR's but even then. Cager has the type of size that doesn't come around every day and he's pretty fast too. But I see that ST's piece being a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why use a pick on a mid-round guy when we can get some mid-round quality in the UDFA pool? I really think that you hit the nail on the head with your comment. Everyone just assumes that the GM and his people make mistakes on not picking a second and third wide receiver, why did they do this, why didn't they do that? I am now more confident that our current GM and his team of scouts has a plan, and they are following that plan. The future is bright for the NY Jets. Leadership has arrived. We just need to have some faith, and give these people the benefit of the doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
