Dexter Lawrence Trade Buzz: Elite DT Seeks New Team

0:00On April 6, Dexter Lawrence, one of the top defensive tackles in the league, just asked for a trade out of New York with the Giants. The two-time All Pro has two years left on his deal, with cap hits of $26,900,000 next season, and $28,900,000 the year after. No more guaranteed money, so any team grabbing him covers his base pay of $18,500,000 and $18,000,000 bucks. His production dipped this past year, to just a half-sack in five tackles for loss, way down from nine sacks in 10 the season before. Still played every game, but teams see him as a cornerstone guy, ready to rebound at 26 years old. Folks around the league are buzzing, with coaches calling him a lead talent-worth chasing. The San Francisco 49ers just made a big move for another lineman, but adding Lawrence could supercharge their front four alongside guys like Nick Bosa. Trade talks might cost a first-round pick in some young death, like a rookie or second-rounder, but it lines up a monster rotation.

1:03Giants probably won't ship him to NFC East rivals, yet West Coast teams like the Seahawks or Rams could jump in. Either way, expect Lawrence to ball out next year, no matter the jersey. Better if he lands in the AFC and shakes up the conference balance. NFL News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on Game Day. I'm Cory with the story.
