"Lawrence was part of teams that went 7-27 over the past two seasons. He has watched close friends like Leonard Williams and Saquon Barkley leave for greener pastures and go on to win Super Bowls."
"The Giants put a Band-Aid on Lawrence's contract situation last offseason by adding a potential $3 million in incentives to the $17 million he was owed."
"He's super, super important. He's a cornerstone football player -- not really a cornerstone, more like the middle stone. He's right in the middle. He's a very big stone, and he's a very active, athletic one."
"League sources have suggested the likely return for Lawrence in a trade would be a late first-round pick or something involving a second-rounder."
Dexter Lawrence II has requested a trade from the New York Giants after experiencing unhappiness due to the team's poor performance, with a record of 7-27 over the past two seasons. Despite a contract adjustment last offseason, the Giants have been hesitant to modify his $20 million salary for 2026. Lawrence's performance declined significantly, recording only 31 tackles and 0.5 sacks. The Giants view him as a crucial part of their defense, complicating any potential trade, which could yield a late first-round or second-round pick.
