49ers Insider Shares Dexter Lawrence II Take Amid Latest News

The Giants have received significant trade interest for Dexter Lawrence, with a first-round pick viewed as the minimum return, sources said.

  • As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches on April 23, New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence continues to seek a trade, wanting to leave New York regardless of stalled contract negotiations.
  • Seeking to adjust his $22.5 million average yearly pay, Lawrence faces complications after signing a four-year, $90 million deal in 2023, with performance struggles last year impacting his leverage.
  • Reports suggest the Giants have received "significant" interest in Lawrence, according to Leonard, though the team requires a substantial compensation package including a first-round draft pick to move the Pro Bowler.
  • Connor Hughes reported the Giants feel "no urgent push" to finalize a new deal, while Rapoport noted the team has "engaged with teams on a potential trade and that will continue."
  • Rapoport reported the situation "should come to a head before the draft" begins in Pittsburgh on April 23, with resolution over the next week potentially influencing the Giants' overall 2026 draft strategy.
