Dexter Lawrence Trade Request: Giants Face Tough Choice

0:00On April 6, Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence just requested a trade and he's sitting out the team's off-season workouts that kick off Tuesday. He's 28 years old. In the third year of a 4-year $90 million extension he signed back in 2023, averaging 22.5 million a year, which was 3rd best for interior linemen then, but now ties for 11th. Lawrence had a monster run from 2022 to 2024 with all pro nods and pro bowls, piling up sacks and tackles for loss, but last season in 2025, he dipped hard with just half a sack and 31 total tackles, his lowest ever, even though he played all, 17 games. That drop off sparked a beef when former Giants Carl Banks called him out publicly, saying nobody respects him anymore. And Lawrence clapped back about, double teams in labeled banks delusional, with stars like Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Cave Antibito of Front.

1:00The Giants still got gash for League Wars 5.3 yards per. Rush and rank 17th in sacks, so new coach John Harbaugh and defensive coordinator Denard Wilson face a real test, keeping Lawrence or, rebuilding without him.
