Summary
New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has reportedly requested a trade from the team and has made clear he won’t participate in the team’s offseason workouts. Lawrence has been trying to negotiate a new contract for two years, but talks have remained stagnant. He has two years left on his current deal, which is worth $87.5 million.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Lawrence has been one of the Giants’ better defensive players, but he’s been trying to get a new deal for two years. Now, he’s holding out for a contract that reflects his value to the team.
Lawrence has 30.5 sacks and 341 tackles in his career, but his efforts have come with little progress on a new contract.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
With two years left on his current deal, Lawrence will make $18.5 million in 2026 and $15.5 million if a new deal isn’t negotiated.
Original observation: The Giants will likely expect at least two picks from any team trading for Lawrence, making a trade seem like a long shot.
