Commanders Sign Three Players To Futures Contracts

The Washington Commanders announced they have signed three more players to futures contracts.

The full list includes:

1. TE Lawrence Cager
2. OT Anim Dankwah
3. RB Demetric Felton. 

Futures deals are essentially camp invites and give players an opportunity to compete for a roster spot through the spring and summer. 

Cager, 27, signed on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Georgia back in April of 2020. He was among their final roster cuts coming out of training camp and signed to the practice squad. 

Cager spent the 2020 season bouncing between the Jets practice squad and the active roster. He then spent training camp with the Jets but the team cut him before the season began and had a brief stint with the Browns. He returned on a futures deal for the 2022 season. 

The Giants signed him to their practice squad and he was promoted to the active roster later in the 2022 season before coming back on a one-year deal for 2023. He signed another one-year deal in 2024 and spent part of the year on the practice squad. 

In 2023, Cager appeared in 11 games for the Giants and caught four passes for 36 yards and one touchdown.
