Professional Career
Cavil was a wide receiver for the NFL Buffalo Bills in 2000.
Cavil joined the CFL in 2002, signing his first contract with the Montreal Alouettes. He has since moved around the league, most recently having been traded by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Blue Bombers on Friday, August 18, 2006 for a third round pick in the 2007 CFL Draft. He had been traded from the Edmonton Eskimos to Hamilton in March 2006, and was dealt from Edmonton to Montreal the previous year before returning to the Eskimos. While in Montreal, Cavil was a CFL Eastern All-Star in 2004 with over 1,000 receiving yards. Cavil was part of the precedent-setting 2004 Alouettes team that became the first team in CFL history to have four receivers all reaching the 1000-yard receiving mark all in the same season (Cavil with 1090 yards, Ben Cahoon with 1183 yards, Jeremaine Copeland with 1154 yards, and Thyron Anderson with 1147 yards).
Cavil continued to create a name for himself in Winnipeg, in part because of his unique end zone dances. As of February 16, 2007 Cavil is a CFL free agent and is in ongoing contract negotiations with the Winnipeg football club. As of August 2009 negotiations are still ongoing.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
