Broncos Eye Dexter Lawrence Trade

0:00On April 7th, the Denver Broncos just took a hit, losing defensive lineman John Franklin Meyers in the 2026 offseason. He was steady over two seasons, with 39 pressures in 2025 per PFF and 14.5 sacks total. But now a trade chance drops right in their lap, with New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence requesting out after stalled contract talks. Reports say Lawrence wants a fresh start, and his impact is massive. Off the field, Offense is feast on the Giants at number 32 yards per attempt, and worse pressure rates. With him out there, they jump to top 10 and sacks, EPA per pass, and pass success. Do's a game changer at 340 lbs. Broncos fans feel the sting because their line lacks size only, Iyoma Uwazurike at 320 and DJ Jones at 305 top that. Mark, they've got Malcolm Roach 2, but got bullied by bigger lines like Buffalo's in the playoffs, hurting run stops late season. Lawrence fits perfect under Vance Joseph.
