Giants Trade Lawrence, Shake NFC East

0:00On April 20th, Giants just pulled off a massive trade, shipping star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft. Now New York sits pretty with selections at 5th and 10th, stacking up serious draft ammo while the rest of the NFC east adjusts. This deal shakes up the division big time, especially with the Washington commanders holding the 7th pick and eyeing their own moves. Lawrence, a three-time pro-buller and two-time all-pro, was the anchor of that fearsome Giants front, making life tough for offense as league-wide. Commander Spans can breathe easier facing the Giants after this. Washington's what New York the last two seasons, but Lawrence racked up four and a half sacks against them in recent matchups, including a big game in, their 20-23 win. Without him, that defensive pressure drops a notch. Giants still boasts talent like Brian Burns and Cave Antivato of Front, but replacing Lawrence his leadership and disruption won't be simple, especially under new head coach John Harbaugh

1:03and with other roster holes to fill. His stats dipped last year to half a sack and 31 tackles, yet his presence elevated everyone. Draft season heats up with the Giants reloading for the future, leaving division arrivals that the commanders with one fewer nightmare on the line. And they clash this fall.
