Overview
- Dexter Lawrence, who requested a trade Monday according to ESPN, plans to skip the Giants’ voluntary workouts that start Tuesday.
- The request follows two offseasons of stalled extension talks, with two years left on his deal and about $20 million due this season.
- His pay, once near the top of the position, now ranks about 11th among defensive tackles by average annual salary.
- Lawrence is a three-time Pro Bowler, though 2025 was a down year with 0.5 sacks and eight quarterback hits for a 4-13 team.
- New coach John Harbaugh has called him “really important,” and league chatter about suitors continues after prior trade calls died over the Giants’ high asking price.
