Three-time Pro Bowl nose tackle Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade from the
New York Giants and will not attend their offseason workout program, according
to three people familiar with the situation.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday
because discussions were not being made public.
Lawrence has played his first seven NFL seasons with the Giants since they
selected him with the 17th pick in the 2019 draft out of Clemson.
Now 28, he still has two years left on his contract, set to earn $20 million
and $19.5 million in each of the next two seasons.
Coming off a dislocated left elbow from a game on Thanksgiving in 2024,
Lawrence started all 17 games last season. He finished with a career-low 31
tackles and a half-sack for a defense that ranked 30th out of 32 teams in the
league.
Lawrence has 341 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks in 109 regular-season games in the
league. He made 12 more tackles in two playoff games.
The Giants began spring workouts Tuesday under new coach John Harbaugh, who
along with general manager Joe Schoen hired Dennard Wilson as the team's
defensive coordinator. They have the fifth pick in the upcoming draft after
going 4-13.
