According to Pat Leonard, the Giants promoted OL Justin Pugh from the practice squad to the active roster and cut TE Lawrence Cager in a corresponding move.
Pugh, 33, is a former first-round pick of the Giants back in 2013. He played out the final year of his four-year, $8.346 million contract and made a base salary of $1,157,307 for the 2016 season when the Giants elected to pick up Pugh’s fifth-year option.
Pugh later signed a five-year contract worth over $45 million with the Cardinals in 2018. He had one more year left on that deal with a base salary of $8.025 million but agreed to a $4.25 million pay cut last year. The Giants signed him to their practice squad in recent weeks.
In 2023, Pugh has appeared in one game for the Giants.
