NY Giants Dexter Lawrence ‘does indeed want out of New York’, per report
Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade from the New York Giants, seeking to leave the team rather than just negotiate a higher salary.
- The Giants are reluctant to pay Lawrence a high-market price following his worst statistical season but would consider trading him for a strong offer, ideally including at least a first-round draft pick.
- Any acquiring team would likely need to offer Lawrence a salary in the high $20 million range, which could be viable for a contending team needing an interior defensive lineman.
- The Giants might accept a 2026 second-round pick if paired with a 2027 first-round pick, with a potential trade deadline on Friday; if no deal occurs by then, negotiations may pause until spring.
- Lawrence’s desire to move on is firm, with sources indicating that he no longer wishes to continue negotiations with the Giants and wants to be traded.
