Giants, Dexter Lawrence talks have 'broken off,' sources tell Daily News
Key Points:
- Contract negotiations between the New York Giants and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence have broken off, with Lawrence publicly requesting a trade on April 6.
- The Giants have explored trade options due to high league demand for Lawrence, a two-time second-team All-Pro who has two years remaining on his contract.
- Lawrence’s dissatisfaction has been growing for nearly two years, as his current $22.5 million average annual salary lags behind several top defensive tackles despite his strong 2024 performance.
- New Giants head coach John Harbaugh has indicated that all players, including Lawrence, are potentially tradeable amid a push for a stricter team culture.
- Giants GM Joe Schoen claims ongoing productive talks with Lawrence’s camp, but sources reveal that negotiations have actually ceased, casting doubt on a resolution.
