The New England Patriots still have over $30 million in cap space, and they could swing a trade for Dexter Lawrence II, who recently requested a trade from the New York Giants.
Lawrence is a three-time Pro Bowler and two-time Second-Team All-Pro. He has two years remaining on his current deal and is one of the best interior defensive linemen in the game. The Patriots already have Milton Williams and Christian Barmore, but adding Lawrence would drastically improve their team.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton proposed this trade that would bring Lawrence to the Patriots: Patriots receive: DT Dexter Lawrence II Giants receive: 2026 2nd-round pick, 2026 4th-round pick and 2026 6th-rounder After a nine-sack season in 2024, Lawrence had just 0. 5 sacks last year. His production was down, but he is still a great player.
He had four passes defended, a career high, eight quarterback hits and four tackles for a loss. It was not a career year by any means, but he clearly wants a change of scenery, and playing on a winning team could get the best out of him. Williams, Barmore and Lawrence could all play a huge role, even though having three star defensive tackles seems like too much.
