Giants Hit Impasse With Dexter Lawrence as Trade Talks With Other Teams Accelerate

The fast-approaching draft now pressures New York to choose a path.

Overview

  • Dexter Lawrence’s contract talks were reported Tuesday night as at an impasse, and the Daily News said Wednesday the negotiations have now “broken off.”
  • Giants GM Joe Schoen said Tuesday the team has had productive talks and wants Lawrence to stay, yet he also said he will listen to offers and set no deadline.
  • Lawrence, who requested a trade on April 6, has skipped voluntary workouts and has two years left on a 2023 extension that no longer includes guaranteed money.
  • Multiple reports say New York is engaging teams and is expected to seek significant draft capital, with interest believed to start at a first-round pick and a new deal for Lawrence.
  • Insiders expect the situation to come to a head before the April 23 draft as potential suitors such as the Bears, Bengals, Jaguars and Texans weigh his elite pedigree against a down 2025 season of 31 tackles and 0.5 sacks.
