US EditionWhat we're hearing on the Giants' draft plans: Dexter Lawrence trade would change Giants draft
- On Monday, April 6, New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence requested a trade from the organization, seeking a new contract, according to NorthJersey.com.

- Last season, Lawrence recorded 31 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 17 games, yet still demanded attention with a 55.5% double-team rate, according to NextGen Stats.
- On Tuesday, April 7, players arrived for the voluntary offseason program under new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, though Lawrence was absent from the facility.
- General manager Joe Schoen acknowledged the defensive line remains one of the roster's thinnest positions; trading Lawrence would hinder efforts to strengthen the unit.
