    Bengals' Dexter Lawrence: Gets $28 million extension

    Dexter Lawrence and the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to terms on a one-year, $28 million contract extension Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Saturday's trade with the Giants -- which saw the No. 10 pick of the 2026 NFL Draft move to New York -- was finalized Sunday after Lawrence passed his physical, and the extension ensures that the 2019 first-rounder will be under contract with the Bengals through the next three seasons. The Clemson product is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 regular season, when he tallied 31 tackles (14 solo), including 0.5 sacks, all of which were career lows. Lawrence was named to the NFL's All-Pro Second Team in both 2022 and 2023, and if he can return to that level, it would be a massive boost to a Bengals defensive front that also includes Jonathan Allen, Myles Murphy and Boye Mafe.

    Bengals' Dexter Lawrence: Dealt to Cincinnati in blockbuster

    The Cincinnati Bengals agreed to terms Saturday on a trade with the Giants to acquire Dexter Lawrence in exchange for the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Lawrence, a three-time Pro Bowler heading into just his age-29 season, stands to ink an extension with his new team shortly. He requested a trade out of New York due to dissatisfaction with the four-year, $87.5 million deal he inked with the Giants back in 2023. The standout defensive tackle's arrival in Cincinnati immediately shores up the team's interior defensive line, though after totaling 9.0 sacks in 2024, Lawrence is now working to rebound from a 2025 campaign in which he totaled just a half-sack on 31 tackles across 17 regular-season appearances. The draft capital surrendered by the Bengals in order to acquire Lawrence's talents effectively guarantees that he will be featured by new defensive coordinator Al Golden, providing the veteran DT with a boost to his fantasy value in IDP formats.

    Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Contract talks stall

    Dexter Lawrence and the New York Giants have reportedly reached an impasse on talks regarding a new contract extension for the defensive tackle, per ESPN.com.The report notes that Lawrence previously requested a trade and hasn't been present for the start of the team's initial offseason workout program. Meanwhile, as the NFL Draft approaches, the Giants are said to have engaged with other teams about a potential trade for the 2019 first rounder, who recorded 31 tackles in 17 regular-season games in 2025. That said, it's still possible the two sides could find enough common ground for Lawrence to stick around in 2026, on the heels of conversations with Lawrence's agent that GM Joe Schoen labeled "productive."

    Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Requests to be traded

    Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade and will not participate in the start of the New York Giants' voluntary offseason activities Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Lawrence broke out with a career-high 9.0 sacks in 12 regular-season appearances in 2024, but despite playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025 he finished with just a half-sack, by far the lowest mark of his career. He remains under contract with New York for two more years, but it appears the 28-year-old defensive lineman is prioritizing a fresh start elsewhere. Per Schefter and Dianna Russini of The Athletic, it appears the three-time Pro Bowler intends to hold out from mandatory offseason activities as well if he is not traded.

    Giants' Dexter Lawrence: Logs just 0.5 sacks in 2025

    Dexter Lawrence playing in all 17 games during the regular season, recording 31 tackles (including 0.5 sacks) and four defensed passes (including an interception).Lawrence looked like he could be emerging as an elite sack artist after recording 9.0 sacks through seven games last season, but since then he's managed just a half-sack across 22 contests. The big man was still good against the run and tangentially helped New York's pass rush, but his numbers as a fantasy IDP were far from alluring. Lawrence has two years remaining on the contract extension he signed in 2024.
